As AS Roma close in on the signing of Liverpool full-back John Arne Riise, reports have surfaced that the Italian side are also considering taking out-of-contract Harry Kewell from Anfield to the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma, who finished as runners-up in Serie A last season, are looking to strengthen their squad this summer, and Norway international John Arne Riisehas been a prome target for some time.
Riise himself was quoted as saying there was a 50:50 chance the move would materialise, while according to his brother the full-back is definitely on his way to the Eternal City.
Lillestrom's Bjorn Helge Riise told the Corriere dello Sport: "I have just spoken to my brother and he told me that he will play next year with Roma.
"And he was very happy."
Former Monaco defender John Arne has said the idea of a move to the Italian capital appeals to him, and a transfer looks likely if the two clubs can agree a fee, expected to be around £5 million.
However, with Alessandro Mancini's future with the Giallorossi looking uncertain, Roma are also thought to be weighing up a move for Harry Kewell as the Australian international winger seeks a new club.
Kewell, previously with Leeds United, is keeping his options open but a switch to the Eternal City could materialise if he can't arrange a suitable move in England.
Roma are also being linked with other Premier League players including Manchester United's Louis Saha and Mikael Silvestre.
