Juventus and Roma could become embroiled in a tug of war over Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao this summer.

The Colombia international's loan stint at Old Trafford is up at the end of the season, and the Serie A giants are hoping to lure him away from parent club Monaco on a permanent deal, the Daily Star reports.

Falcao has struggled to make an impact at United and was left out of the squad for their home clash with Southampton last weekend, despite scoring twice in his last five matches.

United have reportedly been told that they can make the striker's loan switch permanent for £43m, but are believed to be biding their time on the transfer.

Meanwhile, Juventus and Roma are said to have contacted Falcao's representatives to declare their interest.
