Roma are set to offer a new and improved contract to Manchester United target Kevin Strootman to secure his future at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Dutchman is out for the season with a knee injury and though Manchester United are believed to be interested in taking him to Old Trafford this summer, his injury record has been a concern for Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal.
However, Roma still value the 25-year-old Dutch international and are keen to keep him away from the clutches of Manchester United at the end of the season.
Despite his recent trouble with injuries, Roma have complete faith in Strootman, who is slated to return to pre-season training in the summer, and are ready to put their money where their mouth is.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi are ready to offer a fresh contract extension to the Dutch midfielder until 2020, which is also going to increase his wages considerably.
