Roma are reportedly close to agreeing a deal to buy Chris Smalling from Manchester United this summer.
Smalling joined Roma on a season-long loan from United in August, without an option to buy.
Since then, talks have been ongoing between the two clubs over a permanent transfer, with the Giallorossi keen to lock down the defender.
Now, Tuttomercatoweb writes negotiations are “hot” and a deal should be done in June for around €15m.
The Friedkin Group should have completed its takeover of the Giallorossi by then, but the website claims the move will be funded by the sales of Steven Nzonzi and Diego Perotti.
The Englishman has played 15 times for Roma this term, scoring two goals and even providing one assist.
