Daniele De Rossi admits he “considered offers” to leave
Roma this summer. Not being wanted was “a pretty crushing blow for me.”
The ‘Future Captain’ has spent his entire career at his
hometown club, but over the summer considered his options with interest from
Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
“There was a lot of talk about me leaving this summer,”
he told Sky Sport Italia.
“When I spoke to the Coach and the club, seeing as I like
to always be clear, for the first time ever I said I’d be willing to listen to
any offers. I’d see them, evaluate them, whereas in previous years I had always
turned down any proposal without even hearing who it was from.
