Henrikh Mkhitaryan faces returning to Arsenal in the summer with Roma unwilling to meet their £20million price tag for the 31-year-old, reports The Sun.
The Armenian midfielder is currently on a season-long loan and keen to sign for the Italian side on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
Roma had a €10m (£8.5m) bid rejected in January and unlikely to make a fresh move for a player in the summer with just 12 months left on his contract.
Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal from Manchester United in a swap deal for Alexis Sanchez in January 2018.
