Roma president rejects transfer talk on Kevin Strootman, Miralem Pjanic

Pallotta rejects Strootman speculation

Roma president James Pallotta has rejected transfer talk regarding the Giallorossi selling either Kevin Strootman or Miralem Pjanic.

Both players have been linked with moves away from the Stadio Olimpico - Strootman consistently to Manchester United and Pjanic recently to Liverpool.

Pallotta is reported by Bleacher Report as saying that neither will leave the club: "Kevin's come out and addressed it, saying he likes it in Italy and that he has a five-year contract.

"By the way, I wasn't going to sell him anyway!

"The Liverpool thing with Pjanic is the same. We have another four years with him, and we love him."

Roma are currently second in Serie A, three points behind Juventus.
