AS Roma are opening new contract talks with Kevin Strootman.
Aware of interest from Manchester United and Strootman's former Holland manager Louis van Gaal, Roma are keen to discuss a new deal.
Il Messaggero says Roma sports chief Walter Sabatini intends to upgrade Strootman's €1.7 million-a-year deal before the winter market.
Strootman, after missing the start of the season with knee injury, is now slated to make his Giallorossi comeback on November 22 against Atalanta.
Roma president James Pallotta is on record insisting Strootman will not be sold.
