The French defender is said to be a top target for Jose Mourinho’s side.
Barcelona centre-back Clement Lenglet has found himself on the chopping block due to the club’s financial difficulties.
The Catalan club are ready to sell the Frenchman who they signed from Sevilla in 2018.
Lenglet made a quick impact at the Camp Nou by overtaking the position of injury-prone Samuel Umtiti; however, he suffered a dip last season.
AS Roma appear to be keen on signing the French centre-back and are said to have tabled an offer worth € 15m.
However, according to new reports, Barca have rejected the offer as they rate Lenglet around €25m.
The 26-year-old’s struggles last season saw him lose his place in the France national team.
Furthermore, the Catalans are linked with top-quality defenders like Pau Torres and Aymeric Laporte, and their arrival could mean the end of Lenglet.
Roma are currently building a new-look squad as new manager Jose Mourinho looks to make Giallorossi a top-four contender in Serie A next season.
The Portuguese gaffer has managed to acquire his compatriot Rui Patricio from Wolves, and in addition, Granit Xhaka is on the verge of moving to the Italian capital.
Lenglet is a defender preferred by Mourinho, and he cites the French man as a top addition to the squad ahead of next season.
With Barca not likely to budge away from the price tag of Lenglet, it will be interesting to see whether Roma would make an improved offer.
