Roma look set to loan Seydou Doumbia out to Swiss club FC Basel this summer.
The striker was signed in January 2015 for €14.4m from CSKA Moscow, but proved to be a huge flop.
He was loaned back to his former club in Russia, then to Newcastle United in February.
It seems the Giallorossi are still unable to sell the Ivory Coast international outright.
According to calciomercato.it, Doumbia is very close to finalising a move to Basel on loan with option to buy.

The Swiss club will be paying his wages in full during this campaign.
It would be a return to Switzerland, as Doumbia played for Young Boys from 2008 to 2010.
The 28-year-old is under contract with Roma until June 2019.
