Tom Cruise is rumoured to be considering buying George Clooney's famous Lake Como mansion.

The actor is said to be interested in purchasing the gorgeous waterfront property as it is reported that George is considering a move to the South of Italy.

According to Italian newspaper Giornale dell'Umbria, the two A-Listers are trying to strike up a deal for the valuable Villa Oleandra.

It has been rumoured that newly single Tom was initially interested in snapping up the grand medieval Castle of Lions in Deruta, Italy.

However, according to reports George has been trying to convince the Rock of Ages star to buy his property instead.

The Hollywood heartthrob is said to be considering a move to the South of Italy, where he is looking to set up a "home" in the province of Salerno.

With a movie star budget to spend, it is perhaps unsurprising that the 51-year-old is said to have shown interest in the Arechi castle, an imposing fortress-like building overlooking the sea.

George's girlfriend Stacy Keibler is allegedly not keen on the beautiful Lake Como region, where her A-List beau has been spending his downtime for more than a decade and entertained friends including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

George and his girlfriend were spotted going for a boat ride in on the famous lake just a few days ago.

It is believed to be the blonde beauty's second visit to the region.

But despite looking happy and relaxed as the couple spent time with friends, Stacy is said to be pushing George towards leaving the area.
