Roma have found a breakthrough with Manchester United over a deal for Chris Smalling.

LaRoma24 says Roma have finally found an agreement with United to extend the loan spell of Smalling.

The 30-year-old has become a popular figure at the Stadio Olimpico since joining the Giallorossi and head coach Paulo Fonseca has publicly declared his intention to keep Smalling in Rome.

United were looking to sell Smalling to raise funds for other transfer targets.

But the Red Devils will allow the England international to complete the Serie A campaign.
