Wishlist Daniele de Rossi

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has confirmed Daniele De Rossi will be offered a new contract.

De Rossi, 27, has just one year remaining on his contract and has been linked with a move to Chelsea as a replacement for the injured Michael Essien.

However, Sabatini remains optimistic that De Rossi will extend his contract with his hometown club.

"We are working with the maximum calmness," he said. "I have spoken to Daniele. We will speak to his agent and we will make an offer."

De Rossi suggested that he had become disillusioned with life at the club in March, although there have since been huge changes.

Oh well.

[Kieran. 6,317]

de Rossi could just say no...pretty sure he's unhappy at Roma.

[Clevemayer 764]

nice player better than montolivo would be a good addition young and good potential would be a superb deal for around 15 Millions... should be a good cover for Mikel so we only need another one to cover for Ramy...

hope he dosen't sign a new contract

This is the kind of DM we need.

De Rossi would be a great transfer. Get De Rossi, Modric and a winger, then i'm happy!

Time to lock the thread I guess.

[St Abramovich 175]

Why does everyone say time to lock thread, he has one year on his contract and he's apparently unhappy so this is far from over.

I agree with St Abramovich, Tottenham won't sell their star midfielder either, yet no ones says lock the topic.

I agree. imo a thread should not be locked till something official happens, how many times have clubs said someone is not for sale, and still sold him?

I agree with the first part.

As for De Rossi being unhappy. He said that back in March. Since then they've undergone a bit of a makeover. New owners, new manager, new signings have all made a positive impact at Roma. Luis Enrique will excite their fans quite a bit and might be critical in De Rossi staying.. It is his hometown club remember.

Thanks for clearing that up, I don't follow Roma well, I just read some articles recently that stated he was unhappy.

Even so, it is still very possible.

Yep, we can still tempt them, should we make a sufficient bid.
