Roma legend De Rossi is favoured by the Genoa board and is available after recently terminating his contract with the Giallorossi.
Sky Italia says talks have progressed swiftly, with De Rossi expected to sign a deal to the end of the season.
Tonight, the Rossoblu will take to the field in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo, looking to move beyond last place in Serie A. Caretakers Roberto Murgita and Domenico Criscito will be in the dugout.
