Roma have rejected an offer
from Manchester City for
midfielder Daniele de Rossi.
La Stampa says Roma
have turned down a bid of £37 million from City for the Italy
international, but have left the door open to further
negotiations.
City have been told to come back with an improved offer.
Concerning for Roma is that
De Rossi has been made aware he would earn almost £8 million-a-year
should he make the move to Eastlands.
