De Rossi has been linked with a move away from the Giallorossi in recent seasons.
“During the Roma-Lazio game a friend of mine who supports Roma was pitchside. He keeps telling me to leave Roma so I can experience games like Real Madrid-Barcelona or Liverpool-Manchester United,” he told Rivista Romanista.
“However, at the end of the game I told him just why I didn’t want to leave. Now he understands. I still wouldn’t leave even if the club tried to sell me. I would stay. The only time I would go is if the club went bankrupt.”
