Roma will make a fresh attempt to sign Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea to target Carlos Baleba if Enzo Fernandez leaves?

Xhaka was widely tipped to join the Giallorossi last summer. The Swiss had agreed personal terms over a four-year deal.

However, a move did not materialise in the end. Roma were willing to pay £15m, much lower than the £34m price tag.

Xhaka has since extended his contract by another year until 2024, but football.london claims that he could leave soon.

The midfielder remains a fond admirer of Jose Mourinho, and he would not refuse the opportunity to work under the Portuguese.

Roma signed Ainsley Maitland-Niles on loan from the Gunners in January, and they could look to sign him permanently.

Still, Xhaka is being considered by the Serie A outfit. The club will be hoping to sign him for a discounted price this time.

The former Arsenal captain has made just 13 appearances this term amid a long-term knee injury and two red card suspensions.
