Roma are expecting to complete the signing of Hoffenheim midfielder Florian Grillitsch.

Il Messaggero have provided details about Roma’s stance in the January transfer window and claim that Tiago Pinto expects to complete Grillitsch’s signing and he is Pinto’s first-choice target for the midfield.

Mourinho also has a liking for Lyon’s Bruno Guimaraes, who is liked by Premier League clubs and Borussia Dortmund. Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz is also liked by the Portuguese manager. At the other hand, Hector Herrera has been offered to Roma but he doesn’t interest the Giallorossi.
