Vincenzo Montella confirms Interest in Daniele de Rossi
Italian midfielder Daniele de Rossi has been without a club since AS Roma decided not to renew his contract. The 35-year-old made 18 appearances last season, scoring a goal and providing 2 assists. Roma's decision over De Rossi has sparked anger among fans.
On the other hand, Vincenzo Montella admitted that Fiorentina have offered an escape route for the midfielder. Unfortunately, Montella further stated that De Rossi was not ready to play for a different Italian club.
“Daniele didn’t feel ready to play for a different Italian club, even though Fiorentina had been entirely at his disposal. I understand that,” said Montella.
Now, the 35-year-old is said to be close to joining Argentinian club Boca Juniors. His former AS Roma teammate Nicolas Burdisso has actively pushed him towards Boca since a month ago. Boca President Daniel Angelici has confirmed that De Rossi will soon arrive in Buenos Aires to finalize the deal.
