Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Leander Dendoncker is reportedly Roma’s top transfer target this month.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Dendoncker’s agent-brother Andres has already reached out to Roma sporting director Monchi.
The website explains the Giallorossi could negotiate a six-month loan deal for the Belgian with a €15m obligation to buy, which kicks in after he has played a set number of games.
The 23-year-old only joined Wolves last summer, arriving from Anderlecht on a similar arrangement to the one the Lupi would be holding out for.
However, he has yet to start for the Premier League new boys and stands to lose his place in the Belgium squad.
“At the moment I can’t say if the player will leave Wolves. On January 2, we’ll have a better idea and we’ll be able to evaluate the various options,” Anderlecht sporting director Michael Verschueren told La Roma 24.

He is very good passer both short and long and with both legs. He also has a BANGER of a shot. Thats why I think he would be wasted as cb. He could even be developed to box to box cm since he can dribble aswell.

He reads the game well. Good at air balls, challenges and interceptions. Strong, tall and very good stamina.

Wonder if Nuno might play Dendoncker in the middle of the back 3 and have him push towards midfield (where his strengths are) and have him play like David Luiz?

Does Dendoncker have the ability to be a ball carrying centre back? Could be a happy middle ground for him.

Don't see why not it seems to be the most logical step to take but surely nuno must have an issue with dendoncker whether it be fitness or attitude or some thi g else either way if not saiss or Gibbs-white need to be put in there.

With Wolves recent poor form and multiple teams using a midfield overload against us, to good effect, I wonder if there is scope to move to a 3-5-2 formation on occasion. Leander Dendoncker playing in deep midfield ahead of the CBs, pushing Neves and Moutinho a little further forward, Jota and Jimenez as winger and striker. Unfortunately that would mean Costa drops out in this formation but Costa/Traore/Cavaleiro as forward subs where appropriate.

Dendoncker has played two full 90 minutes at CB in Carabao Cup, a 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday and a 0-0 loss on penalties to Leicester. Both games he looked good and composed.

Leander Dendoncker was a €15m signing from Anderlecht in the summer. Belgium WC squad, Belgian Super League winner with Anderlecht who he has captained and also played in the side that reached Europa League quarter finals and yet has had zero minutes in the Premier League so far.
