Daniele de Rossi has pledged his future to Roma.

"I have sworn my faith to Roma. Unlike other footballers, I will not change my mind," De Rossi said referring to Kaka.

"I am young and haven't exactly lacked offers. Anyway, the club's directors talk about these things. My expertise is Roma."

De Rossi then returned to the subject of Kaka and expressed bewilderment at the amount of money washing around football.

"Certain figures are out of this world. The economic gap between our clubs and those based abroad is wide and it is destined to increase.

"Perhaps only Inter can keep step. For continuity, style of play and the general level of football, teams abroad are on another planet."
