As Pulse Sports reported, the Giallorossi are keen on signing a right-back and have been working on Devyne Rensch from Ajax but were unable to reach an agreement with de Godenzonen.
Hence, they were said to have reprioritised their focus to Aina, given his contract situation. Per the report, Roma’s sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, initiated contact with the players' camp to discuss a possible move.
