Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen had earmarked the 19-year-old as a vital addition to his promotion chasing squad this term and one for the future in the Premier League.
But Milan have been alerted to Roberts’ potential availability and sent scouts to England to run the rule over the forward, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The fact that the Baggies rebuffed the Yorkshire side could suggest Roberts may have a long-term future in the West Midlands.
But boss Alan Pardew is running out of time to agree a new deal with the forward who has just returned to his parent club after a loan stint at Walsall.
Scottish giants Rangers have also shown interest in the teenager who becomes a free agent in the summer and can leave for just £300,000.
Gers boss Graeme Murty then offered the kid a permanant deal as a free agent in the summer seeing Roberts as a long-term fixture at Ibrox next season.
