The Poland international played second fiddle to David Ospina for the second half of last season, while the arrival of Petr Cech from Chelsea has further dented his chances of first-team football next term.
Thegoalmac revealed this week that Roma were interested in taking the 25-year-old to Serie A and will reportedly pay a €400,000 (£281,000) fee to land him, with a view to a permanent deal, and Wenger says a move is close.
"He could go on loan to Roma. We are pretty much done, it is down to paper work but as long as that is not over the line anything can happen," he said ahead of the Emirates' Cup this weekend.
"Szczesny is a top-class goalkeeper and we have three goalkeepers and if he can play somewhere then that is good."
However, Wenger stated the 25-year-old is still in his long-term thinking.
He continued: "He will have a future here because I rate him highly. He already has huge experience."
