After their deal for Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren collapsed, Roma are also about to miss out on Juventus defender Daniele Rugani.
Roma were initially favourites to sign Rugani, but they then chose to pursue Lovren.
The Croat now does not look like becoming a Giallorossi player after he could not agree personal terms.
It had been thought that the Lupi could go back in for the Juve stopper, but Tuttosport maintains there is no chance of a revival.

That is because the capital club are only offering a season-long loan with an option to buy, whereas the 25-year-old wants that option to be compulsory.
The newspaper adds he was not given the ‘necessary guarantees’ after they only proposed to buy him obligatorily if they qualified for the Champions League.
With that in mind, the coast now seems clear for Monaco to close a deal for Rugani.
