Manchester United are reportedly lining up a sensational £14m swoop for Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi.
The World Cup-winner is said to have caught Sir Alex Ferguson’s eye after his failure to land Bayern Munich ace Owen Hargreaves, according to the Sunday People.
The Red Devils had also expressed an interest in Rino Gattuso, but were forced to abandon that option after Milan made it clear that they would not let Ringhio leave the San Siro.
De Rossi is a product of the Roma youth team, where his father Alberto is a Coach, made his Serie A debut for the club in 2003.
He was part of the Italian squad that won the 2004 U-21 European Championship and the bronze medal at the Athens Olympic Games in the same year.
He also scored Italy’s third penalty in the shoot-out which allowed the Azzurri to win the World Cup Final in Berlin in July.
It came after a four-match ban he was handed for elbowing Brian McBride in the group stage match against the United States.
