Official: 'Daniele De Rossi staying at Roma'

Roma's general manager Mauro Baldissoni has insisted that Daniele De Rossi will not be sold before tonight's transfer deadline.

Manchester United have recently been linked with a move for the Italian midfielder, while both Chelsea and Manchester City have been credited with an interest in the past.

However, Baldissoni has claimed that the 30-year-old has no plans to depart the Stadio Olimpico.

"The club doesn't intend to accept offers for Daniele and he has no intention of leaving us. Daniele is an integral part of Roma's history," the Daily Mail quotes the official as saying.

Midfielder De Rossi has spent his entire career with the capital club.
