Roma legend Giannini: Time for Sensi family to sell

Roma legend Giuseppe Giannini believes it's time the Sensi family sold the club.

"As a fan, I believe, actually I hope that they do their part," Giannini told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "The Sensi family have no specific faults.

"However, they find themselves in the material impossibility of running a club in an industry dominated by economic superpowers that fight for the Scudetto every year.

"Inter, Milan, Juventus and even Fiorentina are out of Roma's League. If other revenue streams or a new owner doesn't arrive then Roma will be forced to enter the transfer market in a position of austerity.

"The people who support Roma, on the other hand, are dreaming of a competitive team," Giannini explained.

When asked what he thought of Luciano Spalletti, Giannini said: "In his time on the bench he has only failed this year.

"I would keep Spalletti close and make a fresh start next season with a project based around the club's most important players.

"I would consider Totti, Aquilani, Vucinic, Mexes and Juan unsellable."
