 | | De Rossi: For the first time I was ready to quit Roma4.10.2013 |
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has admitted that in the summer really has considered offers to leave his native team.
The Italian international has not defended the colors of another club, despite his 30 years, in the past-transfer window was strongly wanted by Manchester United. The English champion even sent a concrete offer to the supporting midfield, but it was rejected by "Roma."
"A lot things were spoken that will leave the team this summer," said De Rossi. "When I talked to the coach and the club - as always I love everything to be clear - for the first time in my career I said that I want to hear what offers have for me. I wanted to see them, to evaluate them, as the previous years I refused any, without even to hear where it comes from. "
"This year I felt it might be the right time for a change, or at least to find out what is the situation outside. As you know, last season then things were not good for me, so I wanted the best for myself, but mostly for the Roma. "
"To be a player of Roma, but not to make the fans happy, they not to be agree that this is my place - it was a devastating blow for me," honest was the player.
"I can imagine how I lift the trophy in any other team on the planet, but that my last match against Roma would be lost derby with Lazio in the final for the Coppa Italia, it would be the wrong end of one of the greatest love stories between a club and a player. I just could not do it," ended De Rossi.
