Roma ‘hold talks with Jan Vertonghen over move to Serie A’ as Tottenham man nears exit

Jan Vertonghen has entered negotiations to join Roma on a free transfer when his Tottenham contract expires at the end of this month.

The Belgium international is in his eighth season at Spurs but is unlikely to sign a new deal to stay in London beyond the 2019-20 campaign.

Vertonghen was an unused substitute during Tottenham’s 1-1 home draw with Manchester United on Friday and reports in Italy claim the defender is nearing a move to the Italian capital. 

According to newspaper Il Masseggero, Roma have offered the 33-year-old a two-year deal with the option of a third season at the Stadio Olimpico.
