Antonio Cassano has told angry Roma fans that he doesn’t want to leave the club at the end of the season.
Cassano made the shock statement directly to a group of Giallorossi supporters today, who had turned up at the Trigoria training base to protest at the team’s disastrous campaign.
"I’ve come out here to face you because I want to stay at this club," the youngster said after the 2-0 loss to Siena last night.
The Italian international is only contracted to the outfit until 2006 and talks over an extension had apparently stalled over his salary demands.
But Cassano insists that is not true, adding that neither are the reports that he wants to team up with former boss Fabio Capello at Juventus next season.
"I just want a future here and I’m not interested in money," he added. "You shouldn’t listen to talk and it is not true that I keep in touch with Capello."
Roma have had a desperately poor season and have now picked up just one point in their last seven games.
They were plunged into deeper crisis last night after the defeat to Siena came just days after another home loss to Reggina.
Daniele De Rossi, Olivier Dacourt, Amantino Mancini and caretaker boss Bruno Conti also confronted fans this afternoon.

Cassano: "Seguiré en la Roma, no me interesa el dinero"
El delantero italiano de la Roma, Antonio Cassano, zanjó con rontudidad su futuro y aseguró que su intención es seguir en el conjunto romano, después de que su nombre figure en la agenda de varios clubes europeos. "Quiero seguir en la Roma, no me interesa el dinero y por eso podéis estar tranquilos. En el derbi, además, daré el máximo", fueron las palabras que dirigió a los 'tifosi' que se acercaron a Trigoria para ver al equipo.
Los seguidores 'giallorossi' también aprovecharon para animar y dialogar con algunos de los jugadores del equipo como De Rossi, Dacourt, Mancini y Bruno Conti, a los que animaron de cara al tramo final de la temporada, después de que el equipo se haya descolgado por la lucha por los puestos de UEFA.
