Roma are ready to listen to offers for Antonio Rudiger next month which could spark a four-way Premier League battle for his services.
The versatile defender is widely-recognised as one of the continent's best young players.
Indeed, Rudiger is attracting interest from England's elite, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are keeping tabs on his future as they look to bolster their defensive ranks.
And the clubs will be encouraged by the news that Roma will consider selling the 23-year-old in January.
