AS Roma are continuing to trawl the Brazilian transfer market for young talent.
Sportmediaset says the latest prospect to pop up on Roma's radar is Sao Paulo youngster Auro Alvaro da Cruz Junior, known as Auro.
The 18 year-old fullback can also play in midfield and rated among the best U20 players in South America.
Roma chiefs are now discussing whether to move for Auro ahead of the January market.
Sao Paulo are keen to put off any transfer talk, meanwhile, until their title battle with Cruzeiro is settled.
