Roma reveal De Rossi deal on the horizon

Roma chief Claudio Fenucci has revealed that the club are close to reaching an agreement with midfielder Daniele De Rossi.

The Italy international has one year left on his current contract and the club chiefs are doing everything they can to persuade the player into signing a contract extension.

The two parties have made a lot of progress over the last few weeks and Fenucci now reveals the deal is close to fruition.

“We have agreed terms on the variable part of the contract, but there is still some distance between us when it comes to the fixed element,” Roma director Claudio Fenucci told Radio RAI.

“His agents have made their request and we have made our offer. Now we have to work on the difference.

“De Rossi’s contract renewal has been with us for all of the summer. Daniele is important for us though and both parties want to reach an agreement.”
