Roma are set to complete the signing of Marcos Leonardo in January.

The Brazilian attacker was very close to joining the Giallorossi from Santos earlier this summer.

However, Santos blocked his transfer, forcing him to extend his stay in Brazil at least until January.

With the Italian window now closed, Roma can now only hope to sign Leonardo in January.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi could choose to sign Leonardo then and immediately loan him out in Serie A for the remainder of the season as the capital club’s attacking department seems to be complete for the time being.
