OFFICIAL: De Rossi to leave Roma

Roma have announced that Daniele De Rossi will leave the club at the end of the season.

Roma tweeted on Tuesday morning that their home match against Parma on May 26 would be De Rossi’s final game at the Olimpico.

Furthermore, their official website confirmed the 35-year-old would not be retiring as he ‘plans to pursue a new adventure away from Rome.’

His next club could be revealed at a Press conference, which he plans to hold at 11:45 BST.

The midfielder was born in the Italian capital and came through the Giallorossi’s youth system, before making his first-team debut in 2001.

He has gone on to play 615 times for the Lupi, winning two Coppa Italia and one Supercoppa, and replaced Francesco Totti as their full-time captain.

De Rossi also represented Italy on 117 occasions, forming part of the Azzurri team who lifted the 2006 World Cup.

He spoke about finishing his career elsewhere, over two years ago. 

Looking to either finish in the US or playing for Boca Juniors.

No way does it really go to Boca...absolutely no way. 

I'm not sure where in the MLS he'd go...Chicago, Cincy, Colorado, Houston, Montreal, New England, NY Red Bulls, Philly, SJ Earthquakes are the only teams with an open DP spot.

I always found him vastly overrated.

I dont think anyone ever claimed he was like the best midfielder on earth or anything, just an elite box to box midfielder who could have played in much better teams than he did.

Apologies for the ignorance but why have they done that? Any reason? 

I'm guessing they're just appreciative of the contribution he made to Italian football, perhaps internationally, too. Tribute to his loyalty as well maybe.

Seems a bit odd. Suppose the World Cup win may be part of it but you, largely, wouldn’t get that sort of reaction in England.

De Rossi is close to Boca Juniors. 

That´s cool, it´ll be make even sweeter when Athletico eliminate Boca in Libertadores with De Rossi. xD

Having said that, I really like the move. Living in LA is nice, but playing in a club like Boca Jrs. from a sportive standpoint is a much better move.
