Roma failed in move for Fiorentina skipper
The giallorossi were looking at defensive recruitments this past summer after the exit of Kostas Manolas to Napoli. They did sign Gianluca Mancini from Atalanta and later signed Chris Smalling on loan.
Sportmediaset claim that Paulo Fonseca's men also failed in a move for Pezzella in the summer and the player too was keen on a move. But Roma could never come up with a satisfying offer. They wanted to sign him on loan while La Viola were looking to let him go on a permanent transfer.
