Stopper expected to pen one-year deal at Stadio Olimpico
Argentinian defender Gabriel Heinze is on the brink of signing for Roma after leaving Marseille earlier this summer.
The 33-year-old is expected to pen a one-year deal with the Giallorossi, with the option for another season.
Heinze arrives at the Stadio Olimpico as a free agent after parting ways with Ligue 1 giants Marseille, who missed out on the title to Lille last term.
He travelled to Rome on Thursday to meet with club officials ahead of putting pen to paper on a deal.
The stopper, capped 71 times for the Argentina national side, arrived at Marseille from Real Madrid in 2009.
Heinze also spent three seasons at Manchester United between 2004-07 before departing for the Bernabeu.
He has previously stated his desire to play in Italy having already turned out in Spain, England and France, while Roma's Serie A rivals Juventus were also thought to be chasing his signature.
