The 27-year-old has been in talks with the West Londoners for a number of weeks over a move to the Premier League.
The Albanian stopper is out of contract at the Serie A side, and wants to test himself in England.
SunSport understands his deal with the Cottagers could be up to four years and worth around £1million a year.
He is also expected to receive a hefty signing-on bonus along with other additions on top of that.
The move has not yet been sealed, but both the club and player are confident the deal will go through.
