Roma have lost one of their key defenders in the summer in Alessio Romagnoli, who joined Serie A rivals AC Milan. The deal was confirmed only yesterday. The Giallorossi therefore are in a hurry to add a quality replacement before the window closes.
As per TMW, Walter Sabatini, Roma’s Sporting director, wants Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma on loan to strengthen the Roma defence for the 2015-16 campaign. He has been in contact with Chelsea over the availability of the 20-year-old defender.
Roma have splashed money on signing Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko from Chelsea and Manchester City respectively and therefore they would only be interested in signing Zouma on loan.
