AS Roma are making a move for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman is expected to be sold this summer, with Fenerbahce making their move for the striker this week.

Sportitalia says Roma are also keen and preparing their bid for Van Persie.

The veteran was in Rome earlier this month, sparking rumours of talks with Lazio.

The Giallorossi have sounded out the player's camp about the prospect of moving to Italy for next season.
