Roma are considering Lyon's Samuel Umtiti and Chelsea's Kurt Zouma in case Antonio Rudiger is sold.

The German central defender, currently on loan from Stuttgart, will be claimed back by the Giallorossi for the agreed €9m. The move could be only formal though, as the player may then be sold elsewhere at a much higher price.

Should that be the case, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that one between Umtiti and Zouma will be brought in to replace him.

Lyon's Umtiti is worth €20m and the signing would meet the favour of Coach Luciano Spalletti. Roma are believed to have an excellent relationship with the French club, but they will have to beat the competition of Barcelona.

Chelsea's Zouma is recovering from the rupture of the cruciate ligament, but Sabatini already discussed the possibility of signing him with the Chelsea directors during his trip to London, one-and-a-half months ago. Provided his recovery continues on the right track, he will be a viable option.
