AS Roma chief Monchi expects there to be departures before the end of the month.

The Serie A for incoming signings ends on Friday.

Monchi said, “The market for incomings ends tomorrow, but for exits it will remain open. I'm happy with what we've done, even if I'm always convinced we can do better.

“We did what we wanted, we moved quickly at the start to have the squad straight away, then we continued to monitor the market for opportunities. I'm happy, even if you can always do better.

“Maxime Gonalons? He's a Roma player, and I only have good things to say about him. It's true though that with Nzonzi's arrival there's more competition and I'll have to talk to him.

“There's no rush though, the market for outgoings doesn't close tomorrow.

“We did what we thought was right to do and built as strong a team as possible. We also made money, we didn't just spend it.

“The balance is more or less equal, sometimes people say that Roma only sell players but that's not how it is.

“We have the ambition and a plan to take Roma as high as possible."
