AS Roma are closing on a deal for Fluminense winger Marquinho.
The move is also set to include an option to buy at the end of the current campaign.
"He is a left-sided midfielder with good pace, strong physique and a fine left foot," FIFA agent Sabatino Durante told Vocegiallorossa.it.
"In the last few years he has scored at least four or five goals per season. He can also adapt as a left-back, maybe even in a three-man defence. Marquinho would fit in well with the Roma squad."
