Serie A outfit AS Roma have apparently taken a significant step in their pursuit of RB Leipzig sensation Antonio Nusa.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, the 21-year-old from the Saxony-based club has agreed in principle to a transfer.

However, the €55million transfer fee demanded by Leipzig is likely to complicate negotiations between the two sides.

Meanwhile, an alternative target for the side from the Italian capital is Eintracht Frankfurt's Jean-Mattéo Bahoya.

The winger is considered a more affordable option and, due to his pace and dribbling skills, also fits the profile required by Roma. 

Corriere dello Sport estimates that Frankfurt values Bahoya at €25million and is likely to become a key target if Leipzig don't budge.
