Lippi expects De Rossi stay
Former Italy manager Marcelo Lippi admits he would be surprised if Daniele De Rossi decided to leave Roma this summer.


De Rossi, 27, has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City in the past but Roma have always maintained their intention to keep him at the club.
Speaking to Il Corriere dello Sport, Lippi said: "I don't know whether it would be good for him to move on to find his best form again. All I know is that players who are born in the capital and play for Roma have a very special relationship with the club. They have very strong ties and it's hard for them to leave.
"Perhaps it isn't fair to be talking about leaving the club. Roma are still a club of the highest level and have come very close to winning the Serie A title in the past three years."
