Enrique must renew De Rossi’s contract: Former A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giancarlo-c14806 De Sisti
Former A.S Roma star, Giancarlo De Sisti, has insisted that Luis Enrique must try his best to tie midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 down to a new contract.
De Rossi’s current deal with the club is set to expire at the end of the 2011/12 season and the Italian is yet to reach an agreement over a new contract. Both parties are locked in negotiations for the past four or five months but could not reach on an agreement.
De Sisti believes that De Rossi is an extremely important player in Luis Enrique’s new project and the manager must react quickly to get the deal sorted. The 28-year-old emerged from the youth system at Stadio Olimpico Rome and has spent his entire career with the Giallorossi thus far and has gone on to make more than 350 appearances for the club.
De Sisti believes that it is extremely important for the midfielder to stay at the club both on moral and technical grounds. The 68-year-old also blasted the salary structure prevailing in the industry and believes that there are no parameters under which the players are being paid.
While talking to the reporters, De Sisti said, "From a technical and moral perspective, it is important that De Rossi should remain [at the club], as he is an essential player for the growth of Roma, as well as Luis Enrique, and the team's improvement,"
"Another aspect, however, is that there is a limit; Roma must look at their budget. Who would have expected [Samuel] Eto'o to earn €20 million (£17m) net per season [at Anzhi Makhachkala]? There's no logic in this. There is no salary cap, but there must be parameters; earning some figures insult people.”
The Italian international has been linked with a move to several clubs throughout the summer transfer window and reports even suggested that English giants, Manchester City are preparing a huge offer to sign him. The City boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 is a huge admirer of De Rossi and he is monitoring the situation very closely.
