Ahead of captaining his country at Euro 2020, the 28-year-old has emerged as a key target for Serie A side Roma.

Former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho takes over at the Stadio Olimpico this summer and is said to be a big fan of Xhaka.

According to , the Giallorossi have been told to pay £17million for a transfer.

Roma are reportedly keen to tie up the deal before the Euros having previously been stung by targets' prices increasing after good tournament performances, such as Steven N'Zonzi at the 2018 World Cup.

So far, the Italian side are said to have only offered £13m and have thrown in the option of a player-plus-cash deal to attempt a breakthrough.

Under, 23, spent last season on loan at Leicester but did not feature after February and returned to Rome without scoring a league goal.
