Chelsea have placed a €25 million (£23m/$27.7m) price tag on defender Davide Zappacosta as they look to offload the Italy international.
The 27-year-old is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, with new manager Frank Lampard set to favour academy graduate Reece James as deputy for Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back.
Goal can confirm that Roma have made an enquiry as to the availability of Zappacosta, but it is understood that paying such a price is beyond their means.
They could still explore a loan-to-buy deal in a bid to lower the costs due this summer in a bid to get their man.
