Italian Serie A club AS Roma have expressed interest in signing Villarreal defender Pau Navarro, according to reports from RomaPress on Thursday. The Spanish centre-back has caught the attention of the Giallorossi as they look to strengthen their defensive options.

Navarro, who currently plays for the La Liga side Villarreal, has emerged as a target for Roma's sporting department. The 22-year-old defender has been developing his game in Spain's top flight and his profile appears to match what Roma are seeking in the transfer market.

No official bid has been reported yet, and negotiations remain at an early stage. Villarreal's valuation of the player and Navarro's own willingness to move to Italy will be key factors in determining whether a deal materializes in the upcoming transfer windows.
