The defense is a wall. And they can also score. Roma’s defense is one of the best in Europe. The numbers speak for themselves, as does this start to the season.

Yet the impression is that there’s always room for improvement. D’Amico is hunting for opportunities, and his portfolio is constantly growing.

The latest name is Tiago Gabriel. As CaughtOffside reports, the Giallorossi are on the trail of the Portuguese defender. But Lecce are a pricey prospect: they’re asking between €25 and €30 million to sell him.

Roma isn’t alone. In Italy, AC Milan and Fiorentina are also interested. In England, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have already made inquiries.

After an excellent season and a strong start to the season, Tiago Gabriel has attracted interest from across Europe. And the feeling is that he and Salento could part ways in June. Roma is waiting.
