Kolarov close to Roma

By Football Italia staff

It’s thought Aleksandar Kolarov is close to joining Roma, but the deal isn’t done yet.

The former Lazio full-back has emerged as a target for their city rivals in recent days, and it’s believed Manchester City would be willing to sell.

According to Sky, the English club will allow him to leave once they get a replacement in his role, for example Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy.

The Giallorossi are also not quite ready to close the deal, as they’re still interested in Antonio Barreca.

If Torino were to lower their asking price, the Lupi would prefer that option as he’s younger and suits their project better.
