Roma have earmarked Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi as a potential transfer target this month, claims Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Serie A giants are on the market for a new striker with Edin Dzeko expected to secure a move to league rivals Inter before the transfer window closes.
Roma want to sign Mauro Icardi in return but the Inter striker is understood to be holding out on a deal to join Juventus.
Paulo Fonseca’s side are now interested in handing Batshuayi with a route out of his Chelsea misery.
The Belgium international has endured a frustrating time at Chelsea since joining from Marseille in a £33m deal three years ago.
Batshuayi has been farmed out on loan on three occasions in that time with stints at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace.
The 25-year-old could not even make Chelsea’s squad for their Premier League opener against Manchester United on Sunday.
Despite a lack of regular playing time at Stamford Bridge, Batshuayi has generally scored at a decent rate.
In fact, Batshuayi averages a league goal every 112.4 minutes of action for Chelsea.
