Davide Torchia, the agent of Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, has fueled speculation about a potential transfer to Roma as he has refused to rule out a move in the January transfer window.
Roma are in the market for defensive reinforcements because of the serious knee injury to Nicolas Burdisso and a number of reports have suggested that the Stadio Olimpico side see Bonucci as a good replacement for the Argentine.
When asked about the situation at Roma, Torchia admitted that the Giallorossi are likely to sign a new defender, but declined to comment on whether his client is a candidate.
"Roma could decide to sign a new defender because of the misfortune of Burdisso with the national side. What I can say about Bonucci regarding this issue? Sorry, no comment."
The 24-year-old Bonucci has a contract with Juventus, who are currently fourth in Serie A, until the summer of 2015.
