According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma has shown interest in acquiring Ludogorets defender Edvin Kurtulus. With Mats Hummels already departed and Mario Hermoso anticipated to leave, securing a central defender has become a priority for Roma. The 25-year-old defender is considered to align well with the philosophy of Gian Piero Gasperini, who is expected to take over as the new coach of the team. Kurtulus is seen as relatively young, possesses international experience, and has potential for development. Previously, Lazio had also expressed interest in Kurtulus, who has represented the Swedish national team in four matches. Ludogorets had signed him from Hammarby last summer.
