Under the proposed terms, Roma will pay just £14million for Milik.

They will also send Cengiz Under to Napoli in exchange for the hotshot striker, according to .

Milik, 26, had been a £60m summer target of both Man Utd and Tottenham.

United fancied their chances, too - with Milik once admitting he was a fan of theirs growing up.

During his time in Germany between 2013 and 2015, Milik claimed: "I am a Red Devil supporter.

"I would love to play at Old Trafford one day.

"For now, however, I am a Bayer Leverkusen footballer, and I am very far from Manchester."

Milik played just six times for Leverkusen before moving to Ajax for the 2015-16 season.

After excelling in Holland, Milik bagged a move to Napoli where he has since scored 38 times in 93 Serie A games.

In that span, he's also netted 14 times in 49 matches for Poland - where he's formed a fearsome partnership with Robert Lewandowski.

But he appears to be on the brink of a move to Roma - who finished fifth in Serie A last season, just 13 points adrift of champions Juve.

Roma are also hoping to make Chris Smalling's loan move permanent, but are struggling to meet United's £20m valuation.
