De Rossi

[richards30]

I can see nothing new on Italian sites about De Rossi except that AC Milan are interested as he continues to hold out from signing a contract.

Only English paper running it is The Express, which says "Mancini wants to pay 25m to sign De Rossi".

Given that he has 12 months left on his contract and that we don't need him as desperately as we did someone like Nasri, I doubt we'd pay close to 25m.

If we want him mate now we're gonna have too!!

yeah but its about City so they always add £10M to their crap speculation (and £80k a week on top of the real wages!)

Why, Barry was superb again today, he's done nothing wrong.

I must admit I wouldn't say no to De Rossi though.

As rumours abound of Manchester City’s £25m bid for Daniele De Rossi, Roma patron Thomas Di Benedetto said “it’s his decision.”

The midfielder’s contract expires next summer and talks to work out an extension have still not been successful.

This week Roberto Mancini told the Italian media De Rossi would be “perfect” to complete his City squad, fuelling Sunday Express reports of a £25m offer.

“Daniele is a Roman and a Romanista 100 per cent, a great player, an international and a great figurehead for us,” Di Benedetto told Sky Sport Italia.

“Therefore we hope he can play for Roma to the end of his career, but ultimately it’s his decision.

“If he had different ambitions, then we’d have to take that into account.”

Roma have just been taken over by the American investors, but their finances took a hit with Europa League play-off elimination at the hands of Slovan Bratislava.

Selling De Rossi would be a huge gamble, especially at a time when Coach Luis Enrique is openly battling the fans by dropping captain Francesco Totti.

De Rossi is nicknamed ‘Future Captain’ in Giallorossi circles.

Meanwhile, reports in AS state that Fernando Gago's agent is in Rome negotiating a move to Roma. That would make since if the De Rossi story is true. Roma could be lining up his replacement.

Fernando Gago RM --> Roma
Daniele De Rossi Roma --> Man City

Daniele De Rossi

A one club man having spent his career at Roma........

....... However, he's in the final year of his contract and is unable to agree a new deal with his club. Roberto was quoted in the Italian media this week as saying he'd be "perfect" for City.

I believe we'll see City pouncing on De Rossi this week and he will be the final piece of the puzzle. Playing DM and CM, he will be a rock between defence and attack, helping Nigel, and playing quality passes to our attacking midfielders and forwards.

Blue Moon!!!
