Caglar Soyuncu from Atletico Madrid is the frontrunner to bolster Roma’s defense ahead of the January transfer deadline. The Turkish center-back, seeking increased playing time due to limited minutes under Atletico boss Diego Simeone, and his representatives have engaged in discussions with Roma over the past few weeks.

As reported by Il Tempo, the conditions for Soyuncu’s potential signing are favorable for Roma, as they are considering a loan deal where they would only be responsible for his salary for the remainder of the season.

However, the completion of Soyuncu’s move is contingent on Roma securing the departure of at least one player from their squad. Renato Sanches emerges as the primary candidate for an exit. The Portuguese footballer, who arrived on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, appears poised to end his stint in Rome prematurely, with Besiktas monitoring the situation for further developments.
