Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is determined to prise Nicolo Zaniolo away from AS Roma.
Il Corriere della Sera says Spurs and Roma have been in talks for the past week for the Italy international.
And Roma are willing to sell at a price for €50m.
For their part, Spurs wish to drive down the price before closing an agreement.
The Londoners have attempted to include players in their offer, but Roma are insisting on a cash sale.
