According to Corriere Dello Sport, Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi is set to make the move north to Juventus, after the completion of the 2010 World Cup.

De Rossi has been followed closely by Bianconeri officials, but English side Chelsea are also interested in acquiring the services of the Italian international, and could bring him in as early as January.

The Blues have previously offered approximately €40 million for the star midfielder, which was turned down in the summer transfer window.

Juventus, on the other hand, are proposing a bid of half that amount, but they are also offering a host of players in exchange.

The reports go onto suggest that Christian Poulsen, Tiago, Lorenzo Ariaudo and Cristian Molinaro could all be involved in trying to lure the world champion away from the capital and to their club.

De Rossi has continually spoken about his willingness to remain with the Lupi, but there are some uncertainties that have recently crept in.
