Manchester United and Chelsea are tracking Roma defender Gianluca Mancini.

The 24-year-old has impressed for Roma in all competitions this season, having joined the club on a permanent deal this campaign having previously been on loan.

Mancini has caught the eye of two of the Premier League's biggest clubs, who have an extra incentive to cash in this summer because of the defender's low price tag, says the Daily Express.

Roma are not keen to sell one of their prize assets. Mancini has played in all but three Serie A matches so far, helping keep seven clean sheets and scoring four goals. He has been capped four times for Italy.

The rising star even netted in Roma's 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League last 16 first leg on Thursday, delivering an impressively assured performance on a big stage.

But with finances tight, an offer in the region of £27million could reportedly tempt the club hierarchy to sell.
