The 33-year-old is thought to be close to signing with the Serie A outfit, but the North London outfit could still try and hijack their bid.
Arsene Wenger is in the marker for another keeper to provide ­competition to Wojciech Szczesny, 23, and Lukasz Fabianski, 28.
And QPR chief executive Philip Beard told West London Sport their was still nothing concrete worked out between the Championship side and the Italian giants.
He said: "There’s nothing firm. He is Brazil's No.1 goalkeeper, so I'm sure he'll interest a lot of clubs as the season starts to get closer.
"We'll look at what deals are on offer and if they're right for us and the player. Having Brazil's No.1 keeper in the Championship would be an interesting dynamic. We might see something happen."
