AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia is hoping to keep Daniele De Rossi at the club this summer.
The 29-year old Italy international is a transfer target for Chelsea but Garcia is determined to keep him at the Stadio Olimpico.
"He is a great player and surely it's better to have him with us than to see him leave," Garcia told reporters.
Apart from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also showing interest in De Rossi who experienced a tough 2012/13 campaign under Zdenek Zeman.
