De Rossi Hints At Roma Stay

Midfielder Daniele De Rossi, who has been heavily linked with a move away from Roma, has hinted that he could stay at the club to help them bounce back from a disappointing season.

The Roma man has attracted attention from big clubs like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea but it appears that De Rossi will snub all offers in favour of staying at Roma.


"The last few seasons have not gone well, that is clear," De Rossi said in his interview.


"What we need is to be reborn. And we start from here, in pre-season. This is the preparation for a revival ahead of an important year.


"The club has always been a strong one, even in the years that things didn't go so well.


"However, something has been missing or else we wouldn't have had these seasons that were not too positive.


"We are not missing that much at Roma, but we are lacking a little. What we really need is enthusiasm. We need to put a winning run of games together and start to believe in ourselves again."


Roma coach Rudi Garcia had earlier revealed his desire to retain De Rossi for this season. And going by his statements, it appears that the 30-year-old will not disappoint his newly appointed boss. Roma will open the Serie A season to Livorno on August 25.
