Jose Mourinho’s Roma closing in on double Prem transfer raid for Arsenal ace Granit Xhaka and Wolves’ Rui Patricio
ROMA are reportedly closing in on signing Granit Xhaka and Rui Patricio as part of their rebuild.
Jose Mourinho's men are said to be in talks to sign the Wolves goalkeeper and Arsenal midfielder in their summer overhaul.
said 'negotiations will close in the coming days' with the Serie A side.
Mourinho, who is writing for The Sun during the Euros this summer, is said to be keen on compatriot Patricio.
The pair share the same agent, Jorge Mendes, which is perhaps why personal terms have been agreed without the clubs agreeing a fee.
Roma will negotiate a price with Wolves to seal the move, though a £6.8million bid has already been rejected.
Wolves are looking for £10.3m-£12.8m for the goalkeeper, according to Sky Italia.
Patricio, 33, is currently at Euro 2020 with Portugal, but is seemingly ready to depart Wolves after three years in the Premier League.
