Roma are looking to the Premier League for a new centre-back, with Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld and Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren their targets.

Coach Paulo Fonseca warned after the latest summer friendly that “the priority is finding another centre-back” to replace Kostas Manolas, who joined Napoli in June.

Alderweireld has emerged as their first choice and the Corriere della Sera claims they are increasing their bid to €20m, but that is still well below the asking price.

Another alternative would be Lovren, who had already been linked with Milan.

He’d be considerably cheaper at €15m, but also has question marks hanging over him following injury problems, argues the Corriere dello Sport.
