Roma chief Sabatini targets Saint-Etienne defender Florentin Pogba

AS Roma are ready to bring a third Pogba brother to Italy.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Roma sports chief Walter Sabatini is in contact with Saint Etienne for defender Florentin Pogba.

Florentin is the elder brother of Juventus star Paul Pogba. A third Pogba, Mathias, has moved to Pescara from Crewe Alexandra this past summer.

Sabatini made an attempt for Les Verts defender Pogba over the close-season, before turning to Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and taking the Newcastle United stopper on-loan.

However, he hasn't ended his interest in Pogba and will make a fresh attempt for the Guinea international in January.
