Davide Zappacosta is ready to leave Chelsea for a return to Serie A.
The Sun says Zappacosta is keen on a return to Italy before the window shuts.
The ex-Torino star, 27, cannot get a decent first-team run and knows Reece James, 19, is also breaking through.
The Blues would rather he stayed until James is clear of injury — to give them cover for Cesar Azpilicueta.
But a major bid from one of the bigger Serie A clubs could see the end of Zappacosta's two-year stay in London.
Roma have been linked with the full-back who was left out of Chelsea's final pre-season draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.
