The top Serie A club has set its sights on a defender from Atlético

Roma remains committed to strengthening the central defense in the January transfer window.

After the failed attempt to sign Leonardo Bonucci, the Romans have shifted their focus to Atlético Madrid's center-back Çağlar Söyüncü, Football Italia reported.

It is noted that the Wolves cannot invest too much money in January due to financial fair play restrictions. The club is focused on free transfers or loan deals.

The Turkish defender seems to be an optimal option for a loan, as he is not getting enough playing time this season. Söyüncü has only played nine matches for the Mattress Makers in all competitions. In total, the center-back has spent 213 minutes on the field.

The contract of the Turkish international with Atlético runs until June 2027. Transfermarkt values the player at 12 million euros.

Roma is having an unstable season, currently occupying the eighth position in Serie A. Yesterday, the Wolves lost to Lazio in the derby and exited the Italian Cup.
