The 20-year-old centre half’s future at the Stadio Olimpico has come under the scanner over the last few days as AC Milan are actively seeking to sign him this summer.
While it has been speculated that AC Milan are set to step on the accelerator for Romagnoli, English giants Arsenal have already taken a step towards a deal for the player.
The Gunners have reportedly enquired about the defender and according to Sportitalia, they are already in talks with Roma to discuss a deal that would see the Italian move to north London.
While Arsenal have taken a proactive step to get a deal done, it has been claimed that AC Milan are still the favourites to sign Romagnoli from Roma this summer.
