After bringing in a reinforcement for their defence with the signing of Chris Smalling, Roma have now shifted their focus on the offense front.
While they wait to close a deal with RB Leipzig for Patrik Schick - a move that would unlock the empasse regarding the signing of Nikola Kalinic from Atletico Madrid - the Giallorossi are pondering an option from the Brazilian league. Roma have in fact showed interest in Corinthians attacking midfielder and winger Mateus Vital, born in 1998, in order to fill the gap left in that position by Diego Perotti, who will be sidelined for a few weeks due to a muscle injury.
