Daniele De Rossi- Roma to Chelsea
De Rossi has been regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world for many years now and in that time he has rejected many clubs who have tried to sign him. That might be different this summer though following a difficult season at Roma. The midfielder fell out badly with the clubs former manager and lost his starting place in Roma’s first team, something very alien to him considering that he has been the first name on Roma’s team sheet for many years. De Rossi has been linked with a move to the Premier League before, with Manchester City coming close to signing the Italian last summer and now he could finally make a move to England’s top flight, with Chelsea wanting to bring the player to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is a huge fan of De Rossi and has tried to sign him twice before, when he was manager of Inter Milan and then Real Madrid. It could be third time lucky for Mourinho following De Rossi’s difficult season at Roma, with the player interested in linking up with Mourinho. Roma to are thought to be willing to let their star player leave, having recently signed Kevin Strootman as a replacement. Mourinho will hope to use De Rossi as the centre piece of his new midfield and the chances are that De Rossi will be at Stamford Bridge next season.
