Feyenoord ace Clasie open to Italy move

Feyenoord midfielder Jordy Clasie admits he'd be open to moving to Italy.

Clasie is preparing to meet Kevin Strootman's AS Roma in the Europa League.

"I haven't had a chance to speak with him," said the 23-year-old. "Of course I'm sorry for his injuries.

"But I know Kevin and I'm sure he'll come back the way he was before, because he's a strong kid.

"Right now I'm 100 per cent focused on Feyenoord, but I nurture the dream of playing abroad someday, perhaps in Italy.

"Yes, I am often compared to Xavi, but the association is premature."
