The Gazzetta dello Sport said the 31-year-old France international flew into the Italian capital on Monday and has agreed terms on a three-year contract with the Serie A club.

Reports suggest the fee will be around five million euros.

Giuly came through the Lyon set-up as a teenager before moving to French first division rivals Monaco in 1998.

He left Monaco to join Barcelona following the French club's defeat to FC Porto in the 2004 Champions League final.

Giuly eventually won a Champions League winners medal two years later when the Spanish giants won the 2006 final against Arsenal.

He was overlooked for the French squad which reached last year's World Cup final in Germany, which they lost to Italy after a penalty shoot-out.
