The father of Roma icon Daniele De Rossi, Alberto, who also coaches the club's youth team, spoke about his son's future. Speaking to Tele Radio Stereo, he said:
"My son is not hiding his emotions. There is sadness in his comments, when he says that there is a different atmosphere around him. But they are moments. He doesn not want to think of a future far from Roma, obviously if he vented out there was a reason. But he plays for the team, needless to say, he's a Roma fan. He feels Roma inside of him. And neither would I want him to reach the point where he has to discuss his future with Roma".
