Federico Chiesa linked with Roma again as Liverpool reportedly willing to sell for €15m

Roma are reportedly monitoring Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez as the winter transfer window approaches, with the Argentine's future seemingly away from Old Trafford. His contract expires on 30 June. According to the Italian daily AS, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are interested in the Argentine and ready to sign him. Martínez is also attracting attention in Italy, where Roma, Inter and Como are keeping a close eye on the situation as they weigh a possible addition to their defence. The report makes clear that Martínez's contract runs out on 30 June, a factor that could shape any move. Roma, Inter and Como are all assessing whether the player could strengthen their backline.

Roma are beginning to look at the transfer market with an eye on next summer, according to reports in Spain citing AS. Although Gasperini is hoping for reinforcements in January, the club's thoughts are already turning to next year, and they are reportedly considering Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martínez. The Argentine defender's contract with Manchester United runs until June 2027, and he could decline to renew it. The English club can activate an option to extend his deal automatically by one more year, but Martínez is reportedly on the verge of leaving. Roma would not be alone in the race: Inter and Como are also interested in Serie A, while Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have begun making enquiries in Spain. The report indicates that competition for the player is strong across Italy and Spain, with several clubs monitoring his situation as his contract approaches its final year.

Wesley has been one of Gian Piero Gasperini's first-choice picks this season, and the Brazilian full-back has improved across almost every statistical measure compared with last year, according to SofaScore data. Carlo Ancelotti has kept selecting him for Brazil since taking over the national team, making him the only player who has been on the squad list throughout that period. The defender was denied a starring role at the World Cup by bad luck, but he remains one of the cornerstones of both Brazil and Roma. Personal issues involving his now ex-wife have not distracted him, and he delivered the assist for Leonardo Balerdi's equaliser in the 3-3 draw at Napoli, even though he was not one of the best players on the pitch that night. This season he has already registered two assists, while last year he had none after nine Serie A matchdays. His key passes per match have risen from 0.88 to 2.38, his cross accuracy from 26.9% to 40%, and his duel success rate from 42.7% to 52.6%. The one thing missing so far is a goal. He scored with his first touch for the club last season, in the opener against Bologna, but he is still waiting to find the net this time. Gasperini needs more from him in attack, although goals are not a problem for Roma this season. Wesley was rested for the first 45 minutes against Cagliari, but he is set to start against Udinese tomorrow and in the Champions League match at Manchester on Tuesday. He will be closely watched at Old Trafford, where Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing him. The English side, struggling after a disastrous start to the season, have reportedly made him a target. Chelsea also considered a move in the summer, but Roma rejected an offer of around 40 million euros.
