Manchester United defender Daley Blind is a deadline day target for Roma, who are searching for someone to fill the void left by Emerson Palmieri's move to Chelsea.
The 27-year-old Holland international is a popular figure at Old Trafford but is currently injured after damaging ankle ligaments in training.
Jose Mourinho, the United manager, had played Blind in every competitive domestic and European cup match this season up until last Friday's FA Cup win over Yeovil Town.

Blind is in the final year of his contract and has been open to a move as he considers his future. Roma also tried to sign him last year.
It is not the first time Blind has been linked with a move away in recent months, after Marca reported that Barcelona were keen on the Dutchman in December.
Nothing came of that rumoured interest, but there could now be movement for Blind before the window shuts on Wednesday night.
