Roma chief Daniele Prade insists Daniele de Rossi is not for sale.

"I cannot promise that one of our big players will not leave," Pradè said. "De Rossi is obviously one of the player's who will stay, but I cannot promise anything to the rest because at times the market presents unforeseen situations."

Asked if Luciano Spalletti wants a striker for next season, Pradè replied: "We will see. The market has just begun and we don't know what will happen from now until it closes.

"We are convinced we can do well. We have started preseason with great enthusiasm, enthusiasm that we want to transmit to our fans. Without them it's like going on the pitch with a man less.

"The club is also moving on this, but the most important thing is that a new season begins today. The group has a lot of desire to start over again and earn redemption for the negative season just past."
