De Rossi is preparing to end his career

Soon to celebrate his 36th birthday, Daniele De Rossi is preparing to say goodbye to his football career. The Italian, who spent his entire career at the "Roma" club, became a free agent this summer. It was expected that the defender would continue his career, but he and his family do not want major changes in their lives. "Il Tempo" reports that De Rossi himself hoped to extend his contract with "Roma" after the season, but the club management refused to do so. Several Italian clubs, such as "Fiorentina," "Milan," "Bologna," and "Sampdoria," have shown interest in the services of De Rossi. However, the player is inclined to remain loyal to the "Romans" and will not put on the jersey of another team. The source mentioned emphasizes that De Rossi is likely to join the Italian national team and work with Roberto Mancini. In total, during his career at "Roma," De Rossi played 616 matches and scored 63 goals. He won the Italian Cup twice and the Super Cup once. De Rossi ended his career with the Italian national team nearly two years ago. He appeared on the field with the national team jersey 117 times and became a world champion.
