De Rossi to City?

Sources in Italy state that Roma star has met with City officials over a potential move in January.

Danielle De Rossi has been at Roma throughout his professional career, but the 29 year old feels he is gradually becoming disillusioned with life at the club.

Roma aren’t the force they use to be in Italy as they sit six points adrift of top spot in Serie A, to make matter worse for Roma and their star man, he doesn’t get on with coach Zdenek Zeman.

Although De Rossi has met with City officials it may seem that their exit from the Champions league may see them fall behind in the pecking order to get the Italian’s signature as French giants PSG are also ready to make a move.

Roma however are still keen to keep De Rossi as American president James Pollata is flying over to see the match at the weekend. Pollata first priority is to sort out the stalwart’s future and to hopefully convince him to stay at the club.

De Rossi has made over 200 appearances for Roma throughout his career and scored 33 goals. He is also a major influence in the heart of the midfield for his national side Italy.
