Roma playmaker on shopping list (#894) on 21-06-2011 at 23:00:30
Roma?s Italian World Cup winner Daniele De Rossi is the subject of interest from Manchester City. According to The Daily Star the tenacious midfielder is also being chased by Ferguson?s United. The Red Devil?s have been considering an £18m offer for the ferocious midfielder, which is set to be eclipsed by City?s offer of £35m.
The defensive midfielder is seen as someone who can address United?s considerable lack of bit in the middle of the park since the departure of Roy Keane. Italian publication Gazetto Dello Sport has reported that De Rossi?s contract talks have stalled, with the Il Giallorossi unwilling to bow to the players request for an improved contract of ?5m per year.

The midfielder's current deal expires in 2012 and Roma run the risk of losing him on a free transfer next year unless he receives a substantial pay rise and a clear outline of new owner Thomas DiBenedetto's plans for the club.
Roberto Mancini's side are ready to put together a £20.3 million deal to secure De Rossi's signature, and they are prepared to offer him a significant salary increase.
De Rossi would agree to sign a contract extension with Roma should he receive the certainties he craves and the club are believed to have offered to increase the Italy international's wages from £3.5m to £5.3m per year.
