Marcello Lippi predicts Daniele De Rossi stay at A.S Roma: Serie A news
Former Italian national team manager, Marcello Lippi, believes that leaving A.S Roma will be a very hard decision for midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112.
De Rossi is unsettled with life at Rome and wants to leave the club in the summer transfer window. The midfielder has only 12 months left on his current contract and he has clearly told the bosses at Rome that he will not be extending the deal. However, Lippi is confident that the Italian international will remain at the capital because it is not an easy thing to leave your boyhood club.
Talking to the reporters Lippi said, "I don't know whether it would be good for him to move on to find his best form again. All I know is that players who are born in the capital and play for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 have a very special relationship with the club. They have very strong ties and it's hard for them to leave.”
"Perhaps it isn't fair to be talking about leaving the club. Roma are still a club of the highest level and have come very close to winning the Serie A title in the past three years."
The former Juventus manager added that De Rossi along with team captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940, is the heart and soul of the club and the owners will convince him to stay. The 27-year-old is depressed with the fans' attitude and revealed that they no longer want him to remain at the club. The central midfielder has also shown concerns with the change in ownership at the club and revealed that the new owners have failed to convince him about their ambitions for the Giallorossi.
De Rossi has alerted several top clubs including, Manchester United and Real Madrid but Roma chief, Walter Sabatini, has no intentions of selling him. Sabatini admitted that he will try his best to convince the midfielder to stay at the club and new manager, Luis Enrique, is also desperate for him to stay.
Reports in the media suggest that if the Giallorossi fail to convince the midfielder, they will use him in a swap deal to bring Palermo playmaker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082.
