AS Roma have made a new contract offer to Chris Smalling.

Now 33, the former Manchester United defender's current deal is due to expire in June and he has fielded contact from Inter Milan.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Roma would like him to remain, but are also eager to lower the wage bill.

The England international currently earns €3.5m-a-season net plus bonuses.

There is a clause in the contract which would allow him to unilaterally activate an extension to June 2024 with the same salary, as long as he plays half the official games this season.

However, Roma are trying to offer Smalling a new contract to June 2025 that would spread the cost of his wages over two seasons.
