What we know
AS Roma are reportedly evaluating Lisandro Martínez as a potential defensive reinforcement, with TuttoMercatoWeb stating the club is considering a move for the Manchester United centre-back. GiveMeSport, citing AS, adds that Roma are among several clubs interested, alongside Inter Milan, Como, Atlético Madrid, and Barcelona, as teams plan for the future.
His contract at Manchester United runs to June 2027. The reports emerged over two days: TuttoMercatoWeb published first on 30 October, noting United could be open to offers, while GiveMeSport followed on 31 October with the broader interest picture, attributing the story to AS. Both outlets describe the interest as current, with no formal bids or denials reported. No source specifies the form of a potential move—loan or permanent—or a fee.
TuttoMercatoWeb leaves the door open for United’s willingness to sell, but neither outlet confirms any direct dialogue between Roma and Manchester United.
