Roma are reportedly hesitating for free agent Pedro Rodriguez, as Juventus, Inter, Valencia and Sevilla are also interested in the Chelsea veteran.
He turns 33 next month and will be out of contract, but still intends to keep his €3m per year salary relatively intact.
It is this cost that is causing concern for Roma, according to Sky Sport Italia, and postponing the closure of any deal.
Juve and Inter are also interested, but the biggest competition is from Valencia and Sevilla.
