WOJCIECH SZCZESNY will not be short of suitors when his loan deal at Roma runs out in the summer, according to reports in Italy.
The Polish stopper is contracted to Arsenal but has spent the last two seasons at the Stadio Olimpico.
Szczesny moved to Serie A after the Gunners signed Petr Cech and has impressed.
And Gazzetta dello Sport report that his form has alerted Juventus, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund — with Roma likely to be priced out of a summer move.
While, recent howlers by Cech could see him given a reprieve at the Emirates.
Roma would love to keep the 26-year-old beyond the end of the season, but will not pay the £13.6million fee agreed at the beginning of the loan deal.
In terms of guaranteed game time, Dortmund would be the most appealing to Szczesny.

Roman Burki is his main competition for a starting berth and he would fancy his chances of replacing the Swiss.
A move to Juventus would almost guarantee trophies, but he would most certainly be second choice to Gianluigi Buffon.
Should Szczesny be willing to wait patiently for the legendary Italian to hang up his gloves, he would also have to factor in the possibility of Gianluigi Donnarumma becoming available between now and then.
Meanwhile, at Napoli, he would have to contend with Pepe Reina, who has become somewhat of a fan favourite.
Szczesny has made no secret of his love for Arsenal and could have the chance to reclaim his place as No.1 next season.
Cech was brought in two seasons ago as a more reliable option, but recent erratic form has led to question marks about his long-term capabilities.
And Szczesny could be returning at just the right time.
