Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, now in charge at Stadio Olimpico, is said to be keen on doing a deal for Lacazette but no formal approach has been made from the Italian capital.

Jeremy Sutter, who works for Score Agencies and looks after Lacazette’s career, told LaRoma24 of the gossip surrounding the 30-year-old frontman: “No, there are no ongoing negotiations in progress with Roma for Lacazette. I have not had any contact with (Roma director of sport) Tiago Pinto.”
