AS Roma are getting serious about Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino.

The veteran Brazilian is off contract in June and has announced he will leave Anfield this summer.

Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira is reporting Roma are keen on taking Firmino to Italy.

And they aim to tempt the veteran with the offer of Champions League football and a guaranteed start.

At Roma, he could also be reunited with former Liverpool teammate Gini Wijnaldum, who is currently on-loan from PSG.
