Roma coach Jose Mourinho is targeting Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot.
Sky Italia says Mourinho is interested in being reunited with Dalot and could turn to his former club in January as he looks to bolster his defensive options.
The Portuguese signed his compatriot from Porto in the summer of 2018 and has identified the 22-year-old as one of the candidates to strengthen his Roma squad in the winter transfer window.
Mourinho has made it clear to Roma's hierarchy that investments will be required in January if the Giallorossi are to qualify for the Champions League this season.
He is understood to be frustrated with his side's defensive frailties and has made signing a right back a priority in January.
Reports in Italy suggest Dalot has emerged as an ideal candidate for the role, largely as he wouldn't need time to adapt to Serie A after spending last season on loan at AC Milan.
