The agent of Santos striker Marcos Leonardo admits AS Roma could sign the youngster in January.

Leonardo remains a target for Roma after a summer attempt was resisted by Santos.

Agent Rafaela Pimenta said, “The right time to move is January, I don't know if he will come to Roma, you have to ask Tiago Pinto.

"The thing I say is that the winter transfer market is perfect for moving a Brazilian, given that the league ends in December and starts again in March.

“This period is going very well because the teams can organize themselves in Brazil. Marcos Leonardo is ready. If he wants Roma? You have to ask him."
