The interest from Romas has only gone up the latest weeks and according to website Calciomarcato an agreement might be close.
Reports says that Sabatini flew to England and London yesterday to seal the deal. The Gunnes are prepared to accept a bid for about 8 million euro for the Ivory Coast international.
Roma has earlier tried to recruit Nacionals Gonzalo Bueno, but now it seems that they are determined to sign the 26-year-old from Premier League instead.
