Reports today confirm that the transfer of Leonardo Balerdi to Roma has reached a breakthrough stage after Marseille gave the green light to the move and reached an agreement with the interested team. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the Roma are about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Roma are progressing without added pressure. With only 0 goals conceded in 1 (0 per game), Roma have been one of the stronger defences in the Serie A this season.. Leonardo Balerdi would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Marseille continue to be linked with Illan Meslier, Noah Atubolu and Tosin Adarabioyo while Roma are also rumoured to be tracking Morato, Jamie Bynoe Gittens and Malick Fofana.
