Roma have reportedly made the first approach for Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Jose Mourinho has always been a fan of the Austria international and had also put his name on the wish-list when he first took the Giallorossi job last summer.
The 28-year-old has 64 senior caps for Austria, scoring 12 goals, and is under contract with Bayern Munich until June 2025.
He was only purchased last year from RB Leipzig at a cost of €15m and Bayern reportedly want the same figure if they are to part with Sabitzer already.
In his debut season with the Bundesliga champions, he contributed one goal and one assist in 32 competitive games.
Roma are revamping their midfield, already in advanced negotiations with Sassuolo for the return of Davide Frattesi, who was a product of the Giallorossi youth academy.
Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has failed to agree terms on a new contract and will join Inter as a free agent instead.
