Roma are willing to discuss a swap deal with Bologna for Amadou Diawara.

Roma sports chief Walter Sabatini is a big fan of the youngster and is keen to bring Diawara to the capital this summer.

Diawara is ready to leave Bologna and his agents will meet with club officials later this week to assess the situation.

Il Messaggero says Sabatini is willing to offer Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq in a deal which could also include the loan of Leandro Paredes.

Bologna coach Roberto Donadoni has also asked for Roma attacker Juan Manuel Iturbe, though his wage demands are beyond the club's budget.
