Daniele de Rossi admits AS Roma are now realistic Scudetto challengers.
Roma, for many pundits, are favourites for the title this season.
"This year for the first time I will say we have to target the Scudetto, but targeting is not the same as achieving and it's not as easy as people think," De Rossi told Roma Channel.
"From what I hear people seem to say Inter are weak and Juve without Conte are an amateur team.
"On top of that, Romanisti might make fun of Lazio, but they have constructed a good squad, while Fiorentina recovered two important players like Giuseppe Rossi and Mario Gomez.
"Our objective is the Scudetto, but it won't be easy."
