The Giallorossi are looking to sign a winger this summer, and have been pursuing the Leicester City man for several weeks.
Bids of €30m and €35m were knocked back by the Foxes, and sporting director Monchi hinted yesterday that the Lupi wouldn’t raise their offer.
“I'm satisfied with the effort the club has made to sign the player,” the Spaniard said yesterday.
“I don't think any other club has bid over €30m, as Roma did.
"The player expressed what he wants publicly, but it's right that we respect his club.
"In the end everything comes down to whether or not Leicester want to sell the player.”
However, Sky is now reporting that Roma are determined to sign Mahrez, who wants to speak to them, and will raise their offer to €40m [€36m].
