After welcoming Juan Jesus, Roma has been working on signing Nacho Fernandez to further bolster the defense but the negotiation is getting complicated. The giallorossi were waiting for Zidane to give his approval on the defender's departure, but as reported by Mario Giunta it appears that Roma is aware the French manager won't let him leave. The Italian club will keep waiting to see if there are the margins for a deal.
The situation is somewhat similar with Szczesny, since Roma has yet to reach an agreement with Arsenal. As an alternative the giallorossi are monitoring Diego Lopez' situation, the keeper is on his way out at Milan- he has been linked to Chelsea, but he's been waiting for Begovic to leave to join Conte's group. Roma continues to work on finding the right reinforcements for Spalletti's squad.
