The 25-year-old, who has 45 caps and 11 Italy goals, was a key part of the Napoli’s fourth scudetto win.

Following a transfer window meeting at Trigoria between coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the Roman club’s American owner Ryan Friedkin, Roma is accelerating its move to bring the Atlético Madrid striker to the Italian capital, sources said.

The clubs have reportedly reached a full agreement, with a €1 million loan deal plus a €19.5 million option to buy contingent on certain sporting objectives being met.

An agreement has also been reached regarding the player’s salary, and work is currently underway to finalise the final details that will bring Raspadori to Roma.
