QUOTE Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi is a big-money target for Chelsea.

Il Romanista says De Rossi is now Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti's No1 choice to strengthen his midfield this summer - ahead of even AC Milan star Andrea Pirlo.

In reaction to speculation linking De Rossi with a £40 million bid from Real Madrid, Roma chief Bruno Conti last week scoffed: "De Rossi isn't worth £40 million, he's worth much, much more."

De Rossi is a great player but he isn't someone we need. We have Michael Essien who plays well in his type of position, and Mikel is perfect backup, so we don't need him!

[EskWeston 696]

Can't i say i know anything about De Rossi! What sort of midfielder is he? Defensive, attacking???

[chrismada9 1,948]

He's actually both, but his better position is DM I think, that's why I say we don't really need him, but I could be wrong

[Kez 2,727]

We don't need him

[zolayes 14,489]

He must be worth 80 million at least...or 100 million if we want him

Roma has to be joking jajaja De rosi is a Good player.... but we better get Sneijder than Rosi... and De Rosi 15 to 18 millions not more.

Yes we dont really have one of those in our squad do we ?

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

I'll pass on this one

[Wxgba 306]

I'd rather have him than Pirlo, if it was between the two. But I too, would rather pass on this one.

No...And Ancelloti seems to be a fan of one. hence he mentioned names like Alonso and Pirlo for Chelsea in his book.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Fantastic player, but we already have Mikel and Essien.

Roma official Bruno Conti claims he was approached by Chelsea regarding the availability of Daniele De Rossi.

The Blues have been strongly linked with a host of players during the summer transfer window as Carlo Ancelotti looks to piece together a side capable of wrestling the Premier League title from the clutches of Manchester United.

The Italian coach is believed to have cast his eye over a number of those plying their trade in his homeland, with employees of former club AC Milan dominating the headlines.

However, it appears that Roma midfielder De Rossi has also fallen under his radar, with a big-money approach reported to have been lodged.

"I've personally had a call from Ancelotti to take the player to Chelsea. But Daniele is untouchable," Conti told Radio Radio.

"The offer was of a lot of money, but it has been refused."

No deal

Roma president Rosella Sensi has also moved to distance the club from any suggestion that they would be prepared to part with the Italy international.

"De Rossi isn't and won't be for sale. He remains with us", she said.

Sensi also admitted that the decision to offload Alberto Aquilani to Liverpool was a tough call to make.

"It was a difficult choice. But he deserved a big club," added the club supremo.
