Di Marzio reported that Roma now hopes to sign Spanish defender Hermoso on a free transfer.
Di Marzio said that Roma is trying its best to sign Hermoso. The Spanish defender is only one step away from joining Galatasaray, but Roma's participation may make him change his mind.
Napoli and Inter Milan have also contacted Hermoso, but ultimately failed to reach a deal.
In addition, if Smalling can move to Saudi Arabia, Roma may also try to approach Hummels, who is also still a free agent.
