The combative midfielder played for Italy at the Confederations Cup and is set for an extended break after the tournament.
De Rossi, 29, is likely to cost the Blues around £11million to procure and he would take Oriol Romeu's place in the squad.
The Spaniard has been sent on loan to Valencia for a year, and, with John Obi Mikel linked with a Stamford Bridge exit too, Jose Mourinho needs another midfielder.
Brazilian defender Wallace, who has just joined Chelsea, could also move on loan to Roma as part of the potential De Rossi deal.
Chelsea have already signed Andre Schurrle, Marko Van Ginkel and Mark Schwarzer this season.
