Roma insist they have no plans to sell any of their best players unless they are offered a ‘crazy’ amount of money.
Sporting director Daniele Prade today made the admission as transfer speculation continues to revolve around the outfit’s major stars.
“Our project currently doesn’t include the sale of our more important players,” stated the capital club’s official.
“We would only consider releasing one of our jewels if we were made a crazy economical offer for them.”
Although captain Francesco Totti is untouchable, numerous clubs across Italy and Europe are interested in various elements of the Roma squad.
Cristian Chivu’s name is constantly making the transfer news pages given his impressive campaign at the Stadio Olimpico.
Currently tied to the outfit until 2008, Barcelona, Milan, Inter and Juventus are all keen on landing the Romanian.
The stunning Amantino Mancini has caught the eye and Juventus, who failed to land him last summer, may make another attempt to net him at the end of the season.
Italian international Daniele De Rossi is another who is highly-rated with the most recent whispers suggesting that Inter, Real Madrid and Manchester United like the look of him.
Central defender Philippe Mexes’ name is also understood to be on the wish-lists of a number of outfits.
Having put last season’s nightmare behind him, the rejuvenated Frenchman is believed to be a target for Lyon amongst others.
