The Liverpool left-back is in Italy's capital to discuss a possible 6m euros (£4.75m) move Roma.
According to the their website, the club had been given permission to discuss personal terms with the Norway international.
Riise signed for Liverpool in 2001 and helped them to the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League titles.
The Norwegian has been a long-time target for AS Roma and both La Gazzetta dello Sport and La Repubblica report that the clubs are close to finalising a deal.
Riise played second fiddle to Brazilian Fabio Aurelio last season who had established himself as the club's first choice left-back.
When Aurelio came off injured during last season's Champions semi-final first leg against Chelsea, Riise replaced him only to score an own goal in stoppage time.
Last year, Riise was involved in an infamous spat with former team-mate Craig Bellamy after a karaoke night on a team bonding trip to Portugal.
