It's getting louder...

Forget the De Jong link for now, look at the De Rossi one:
"Future De Rossi. The last words, spoken on the sidelines of the press conference, since ds Walter Sabatini has left its mark: "De Rossi is not for sale, but there are things in football that can not be predicted." Words, listen carefully to Manchester, where the City is preparing to attack: to offer 35 million euros, plus bonuses. When the fax arrives at Trigoria, Roma will do what? The impression is that this figure will not be enough to convince to give up the entourage giallorosso Daniele De Rossi, but it certainly would be figures that, these days, would falter and reflect."
Looks like Sabatini's hint yesterday has hit home with someone and we're preparing a €35 million bid plus add ons. One of the Italian guys I work with reckons that would be enough for Roma to accept.
