Roma are lining up a move for Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger.

Off contract in June, Rudiger is testing the water regarding rival offers before he considers talks with Chelsea over a new deal.

A return to Roma has been mooted, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting the Germany international is being discussed at the capital club.

Roma coach Jose Mourinho is eager to strengthen his centre-half options and regards Rudiger highly.

Rudiger enjoyed success with Roma before leaving for Chelsea.
