The 35-year-old Italian midfielder knows he is in the final stages of his career, but no matter how many offers he has at Serie A, he doesn't want to face his former team.
Tuesday, May 14, 2019, was a nostalgic day for AS Roma fans as Daniele De Rossi ended his relationship with his loved club, a team where he spent 17 years, becoming a quality player and captain.
With his talent, De Rossi is not short on options after leaving the Giallorossi as there are several teams interested in the 35-year-old midfielder, including MLS teams and Serie A too; however, for De Rossi the latter is not an option.
According to Nicolò Schira of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Massimo Ferrero, president of Sampdoria, offered De Rossi a one-year contract but the veteran rejected the offer since he doesn't see himself playing with another shirt other than the one of Roma.
Everything points to MLS
The fate of Daniele De Rossi seems closer to the United States after the Italian closed the doors the Serie A, and the American league has great interest in getting the midfielder, especially New York City FC, a club where Andrea Pirlo used to play.
De Rossi has mentioned before he would not be against arriving in the States, even when asked about reaching US Soil, the former Roma captain said; "I said that getting to MLS is something I would like," concluded De Rossi.
