Though they are yet to find a breakthrough, Roma are increasingly confident that they will be able to prise Baba away from the Bundesliga.
While Chelsea remain interested, the full-back is believed to be more keen to join Roma as he feels he will get more first team opportunities at the Stadio Olimpico.
His contract with Augsburg runs until the summer of 2019.
