Roma is already looking ahead to next season, and one position that needs urgent attention is left-back. With Angelino sidelined for most of the current campaign, Kostas Tsimikas heading back to Liverpool after his loan spell, and Wesley expected to shift to his natural right flank, the Giallorossi are left with a glaring gap on the left side of defense.
Wesley has done a commendable job adapting to the opposite flank since his summer arrival, but the club's plan has always been to deploy him where he's most effective—on the right. That means finding a dedicated left-back is now a top priority.
According to transfer expert Nicolò Schirà, Roma has set its sights on Alexandro Bernabei, the dynamic Argentine left-back currently plying his trade for Internacional de Porto Alegre. Standing at just 5'6", the 2000-born defender may be compact, but he's made a big impact this season with six goals to his name—impressive numbers for a full-back.
Bernabei is no stranger to European football, having previously featured for Celtic and Lanús. His agents are currently in Porto Alegre and are expected to meet with Internacional's management in the coming days to discuss the club's plans for the player's future.
Valued at around €8-9 million, Bernabei represents a potentially smart investment for Roma. If an offer comes close to that figure, negotiations could open up quickly—and for a club in need of a reliable left-back, this could be a move worth watching closely.
