Roma in 'constant contact' for Atalanta defender

Serie A giants AS Roma are constantly pursuing the signature of Atalanta defender Gianluca Mancini.

The Italian has become one of the most sought-after Italian players in the ongoing summer transfer window and his performances for Atalanta helped the club finish as high as third in the Serie A, seeing them qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in history.

Roma have been linked with a move for Mancini and they want him to replace Kostas Manolas. Gazzeta.it claim that Gianluca Petrachi has been in constant contact with the player's entourage to seal the deal at around 24 million euros.
