Feyenoord midfielder Jordy Clasie admits he'd be open to moving to Italy.
Clasie is preparing to meet Kevin Strootman's AS Roma in the Europa League.
"I haven't had a chance to speak with him," said the 23-year-old. "Of course I'm sorry for his injuries.
"But I know Kevin and I'm sure he'll come back the way he was before, because he's a strong kid.
"Right now I'm 100 per cent focused on Feyenoord, but I nurture the dream of playing abroad someday, perhaps in Italy.
"Yes, I am often compared to Xavi, but the association is premature."
