AS Roma Sweep Club Icon De Rossi Out The Door Post Rough Start To Season
De Rossi and Roma part ways
Former Italian international and long time AS Roma mainstay Daniele De Rossi has officially parted ways with the club. The two sides have agreed to terminate De Rossi's contract a year early, bringing an end to his 18-season run with the Giallorossi.
De Rossi's departure comes after a disappointing start to the season for Roma, who currently sit 14th in the Serie A standings. The club has won just two of their opening eight matches, and De Rossi has been a regular starter in that time.
The 36-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move to several clubs in recent months, including Inter Milan and AC Milan. However, it is believed that De Rossi is keen to stay in Rome, and he could now sign for another Serie A club in the coming weeks.
A Roma legend
De Rossi is a Roma legend, having made over 600 appearances for the club. He has won two Coppa Italia titles and one Supercoppa Italiana title with the Giallorossi, and he was also part of the Italy squad that won the 2006 World Cup.
De Rossi is a hugely popular figure among Roma fans, and his departure will be a major blow to the club. He is a true one-club man, and he will be remembered as one of the greatest players in Roma's history.
What's next for De Rossi?
It is unclear what the future holds for De Rossi. He is still a top-class player, and he could easily continue playing at a high level for several more years.
There have been rumors that De Rossi could join a club in the Middle East or China, but it is also possible that he could stay in Italy and sign for another Serie A club.
De Rossi is a free agent, so he is free to join any club he wants. He will likely have several offers on the table, and he will have to decide what is the best move for his career.
