Fellaini 1Roma have emerged as a contender to sign Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

Napoli have been heavily linked with the Belgian in recent days but now it appears their Derby Del Sole rivals are trying to swoop in with a deal of their own.

According to a report in the Corrierre Dello Sport, Roma have contacted the Manchester club about Fellaini in the last 24 hours.

United  are said to be looking to recoup at least 19 million in selling the player, the report states.

However, thus far the Partenopei have only expressed interested in taking Fellaini on loan this season with an option to buy. This could open a window for Roma, though it is uncertain if the capital club would be willing to meet United’s valuation of the player.

Both clubs are ready to launch the final assault for Fellaini but must wait for Manchester United come back from the United States, where they ar competing in the International Champions Cup, a tournament which also features Roma among the participants.
