Roma keen to hold onto stars

July 24, 2009

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has admitted that he is awaiting bids for several of their players in the coming weeks.

But Spalletti insists both Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi will remain at the club.

“I think it’s only a matter of time before someone comes knocking to ask about some of our players,” Spalletti declared to Corriere dello Sport.

“We will invest in any replacements once we know what areas need reinforcing following the departure of one of our own. [Philippe] Mexes and Juan are staying put, I have worked hard to develop them and they give the side an added stability. We want to keep [Francesco] Totti, whilst [Daniele] De Rossi is a player that simply cannot be released.”
