Nuno had already been targeted by Saudi club Al Hilal, but the Forest boss is understood to be reluctant to return to the country.

Prior to his appointment at Forest, Nuno was in charge of Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad and led them to the league title as well as the Saudi Super Cup.

However, he was axed by the club in November 2023.

Roma, who play at the iconic Stadio Olimpico, are seeking a permanent replacement for Claudio Ranieri, who is acting as interim head coach until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Ranieri has Roma in fifth on 66 points, one behind Juventus who occupy the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot in Serie A.
