Real Madrid Offer Daniele De Rossi €10 Million Wages A Season, Roma Respond With €4.5 Million

Roma are eager to tie Daniele De Rossi to a new deal in an attempt to kill off all possibilities of him joining Real Madrid, according to Leggo.

De Rossi said he "could join Real Madrid" last week, but his ideas were met with a regiment of opposition by Claudio Ranieri and Lupi chief Rosella Sensi who both said there was no chance of him leaving.



Jose Mourinho has been busy designing his new look Real Madrid squad. He said he needs only three or four players. One of those is De Rossi.

Real are ready to offer the Italian €10 million per season. Roma have responded with a maximum of €4.5m per annum. But he wants the Italians to table at least €6m to guarantee his stay.

With the World Cup on the horizon, the Giallorossi are hopeful of pushing through a deal before Italy fly out to South Africa next week, but with question marks hanging over wages, a deal could drag on.

De Rossi's current deal expires in 2012.
