Roma have held more talks with Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen.

The Belgium international is in his eighth season at Spurs but is unlikely to sign a new deal to stay in London beyond the 2019-20 campaign.

Il Messeggero says Roma have offered the 33-year-old a two-year deal with the option of a third season at the Stadio Olimpico.

However, Corriere dello Sport affirm the Serie A club will only pursue Vertonghen if they fail to strike a deal with Manchester United for Chris Smalling.

The English centre-back has scored two goals in 28 appearances during his season-long loan to Roma and manager Paulo Fonseca is keen to sign him permanently.

Vertonghen has also attracted interest from Inter Milan and Napoli, meaning Roma will face competition to sign their secondary target if they miss out on Smalling.
