Roma confident De Rossi will sign new deal

De Rossi’s current contract with Roma is set to expire at the end of the season.

The midfielder has recently been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea.

“De Rossi? I think we are closer to him signing after a short conversation we had the other day,” Pallotta told Roma Channel.

“De Rossi and (Francesco) Totti have made me understand how much they love Roma.

“For this reason we want to keep them as long as possible. For me, they are Roma.”
