Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are all in the race to sign Italy international Lorenzo Pellegrini for just £21million.
The Premier League trio are keeping tabs on the Roma star because of the low release clause inserted into his current contract, according to The Mirror.
Pellegrini has put his name on several clubs' transfer radar by impressing for the Serie A giants in his 23 games.

The midfielder, who has been capped once by Italy's national team, could spark yet another argument between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte with the warring managers both showing interest.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who are leading the Premier League by 15 points, are also set to join the transfer battle while Roma are hoping to offer Pellegrini a new deal to stay at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma academy graduate Pellegrini earned his stripes by making a name for himself at Sassuolo before his current club exercised a £9m buy-back clause last year.
Monchi, Roma's director of football, is not expecting to do much business in January and will instead look to promote from within.
He told FourFourTwo: 'I do not think we'll have to look for solutions outside, because I think the solutions are inside the team.'
Pep Guardiola is set to go head-to-head with his managerial rivals to land Pellegrini
