Newspaper La Nazione has claimed that Roma are interested in Fiorentina full-back Mattia Cassani.
The Italian international has struggled for playing time in Vincenzo Montella’s 3-5-2 tactical set-up, starting only four times thus far in the campaign.
Cassani could in turn be ripe for a move before the transfer window closes in search of a more stable, consistent situation.
Sampdoria and former employers Palermo were originally thought to be those angling for his signature, but Roma now appear to have entered the race.
Giallorossi right-back Ivan Piris left Sunday’s match with Catania with an injury early in the second half, a development which may have contributed to the capital club’s reported interest.
