Roma reportedly met with Paulo Dybala’s entourage on Sunday, as Inter, Milan and Napoli remain frosty on a potential signature.
The Argentina international is a free agent after leaving Juventus, when the club at first agreed a €10m per season net contract extension, then pulled out.
He had seemed on the verge of joining Inter, only for them to hesitate after the arrival of Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.
According to Radio Radio, Roma director Tiago Pinto met with Dybala’s entourage on Sunday to discuss the situation and found that the player was prepared to lower his earlier salary demands due to a lack of suitable offers.
Milan and Napoli do not seem particularly interested in making an offer, so Roma hope the presence of Jose Mourinho and the notoriously passionate fans could be enough for him to overlook the lack of Champions League football.
There is still Premier League interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, but Dybala has spent practically his entire career in Italy and feels that Serie A suits him, as does the lifestyle in the country.
