The Ivorian is odds-on to be sold this sold this summer as he failed to win over the fans at the Emirates, with the Serie A looking his next likely destination.<br />

As Roma are currently managed by Rudi Garcia, who has a close relationship with Gervinho as he was the head coach at Lille during the Ivorian's stint at the French club.<br />

Personal terms for the deal are said to have been concluded, but As Roma are still waiting to find enough funds to finance the deal as they plan to offload a few before the signing of the forward.<br />

Miralem Pjanic currently looks the most likely player to exit the Stadio Olimpico with both Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund interested in the player for a fee of around &pound;12m that would provide As Roma the fee to sanction Gervinho's transfer.
