The Latest AS Roma News
Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo has revealed that he would like to stay at the club, despite interest from several European teams.
The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season at Roma, even if his recent form has not been great, and his form has seen the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus hovering. However, Roma are keen to tie him down to an improved deal, and Zaniolo is eager to sign it. "I still have another four years left of my contract, I see myself here in the future," he told Corriere Dello Sport. "Naturally receiving interest from other clubs is pleasing, but I am ready to sign the renewal because I am happy here. I would be happy to stay. "I'm completely focused on these last two games, I don't think of anything else. We have to try to win both, then we'll do our calculations. "The biggest regret? That goal conceded in Genoa that prevented us from winning those three important points." Zaniolo also reserved praise for his captain Daniele De Rossi, who will leave his boyhood club next month after not being offered a contract renewal. "Losing a captain like that and a player like that in the locker room will certainly be heavy. I can only thank him for having welcomed me at Roma like a son, for having treated me like a son both on and off the field. "I won't hide from you that some tears fell after the press conference. Today, Daniele has shown how important he is for this city and this club, he is an absurd player. "I remember he sent me a message even before I arrived at Trigoria, saying, 'Welcome to our family, I am the old man of the house, you are the newcomer and you are one of us.' "Daniele is a leader both on and off the field, as well as a great player and a great person. He is a captain, Roma will lose so much."
