Roma is reportedly considering Odilon Kossounou as a potential reinforcement for their defensive line in the upcoming season. Kossounou, who is currently on loan at Atalanta, is set to return to Bayer Leverkusen after the season concludes. Despite suffering a mid-season injury at Bergamo, his physical attributes and versatility in various defensive positions make him a sought-after player for numerous clubs. Radio Manà Manà Sport Roma reported that Roma has started initial discussions to gauge Bayer Leverkusen's interest in negotiating Kossounou's transfer. Interestingly, Bayer Leverkusen may be receptive to a potential swap deal involving Mario Hermoso, who is on loan at the German club from Roma. Hermoso, who joined Roma in the summer of 2024, has not lived up to the club's expectations and might be included in the negotiations as both clubs aim to address their defensive requirements.
