Rodwell has been capped three times by England
Former England midfielder Jack Rodwell is in Italy over a potential move to Serie A side Roma.
No deal has been agreed but there is interest in the 28-year-old, who is a free agent after leaving Championship side Blackburn Rovers in the summer.
His move to Blackburn came after the cancellation of his ÂŁ43,000-a-week contract by Sunderland following their relegation to League One in June 2018.
Rodwell had joined Sunderland for ÂŁ10m in August 2014 from Manchester City.
Capped three times by England, he signed for City from boyhood club Everton for a reported ÂŁ15m in August 2012, winning a medal as the Blues won the 2013-14 Premier League title.
If he signs for Roma, he will join up with compatriot Chris Smalling, who is on a season-long loan from Manchester United.
