Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly made a move for Roma's much-coveted midfielder Daniele de Rossi.
The 29-year-old, who has made 82 appearances for Italy, is widely regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football.
According to RMC Radio, the Ligue 1 leaders have opened talks with the experienced Italian international with a view to completing a deal before the end of the month.
De Rossi has previously been linked with a host of European clubs, but it is understood that the challenge provided by the French outfit could turn his head.
