Europa League winners Chelsea have all but agreed to a move for Roma legend Daniele De Rossi.
The 29-year-old combative midfielder has been heavily liked with a move away from the Giallorossi this summer after president James Pallotta admitted that ‘everyone is on the market’.
British newspapers Daily Mirror and Guardian report that deal is on the verge of completion with only minor deals left to be sorted.
The one sticking point in the deal is the potential move of Brazilian right-back Wallace, as the Lupi want to bring the player to the Stadio Olimpico but the Londoners do not want to let the 19-year-old leave.
De Rossi has made over 400 appearances for Roma since making his debut in 2001.
