Borini joined AS Roma last week, via Parma, after impressing at Swansea City last season on-loan from the Blues.
Marco de Marchi revealed: "Roma spent a lot of money to take him on-loan because they believe he is an extraordinary talent.
"The player was very hungry, he was also tried for by Liverpool and Hamburg."
