The Giallorossi have had a mixed start to the campaign and they are currently ninth in the Serie A with only 14 points on the board.

The club have had their defensive woes and Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Mourinho could sign a new centre-back this winter.

The Portuguese is currently unhappy with Chris Smalling , who has refused to take painkiller injections to continue playing.

The club are open to offloading him in the New Year and it is claimed that they are awaiting a big-money offer from Saudi.

If that does not happen, the hierarchy could still explore a loan deal with an option for purchase at the end of the campaign.

Roma have a good relationship with Chelsea after signing Tammy Abraham and could use the links to land Chalobah in January.

Chalobah turned down a move to Nottingham Forest last summer, but could be enticed to accept the proposal from Mourinho.
