Roma are close to an €8m deal with Barcelona for Belgium international Thomas Vermaelen, beating competition from Inter.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the Giallorossi have so far offered €8m and that is very close to the Barcelona asking price of €10m.
The centre-back is reportedly eager for an experience in Serie A after playing in England and Spain.
Barcelona signed the 30-year-old from Arsenal in 2014 for €19m, but he suffered with a series of injury problems.

He is sliding down the pecking order at Camp Nou and therefore prepared for this move to Roma.
Leandro Castan is heading to Sampdoria and Antonio Rudiger out for six months with an ACL injury, so reinforcements are needed at the Olimpico.
