The report adds that Manchester United, Liverpool and Fenerbahce have all made contact to enquire about a deal for the 25-year-old. Born and raised in France, he represents Morocco at international level and has made 22 appearances in their shirt.
El Aynaoui joined Roma last summer from Lens for 23.5 million euros, plus add-ons and a percentage of any future sale owed to the French club. Estimates suggest the Italian side would not sanction his departure for less than 35 to 40 million euros.
He played his part in Morocco's strong World Cup run, which ended with a 2-0 quarter-final defeat to France.
