AS Roma hero Daniele de Rossi is proud to be a one club man.
The midfielder admits he's had offers to leave during his career.
"They give you your kit and suddenly you're dressed like your heroes and playing on grass pitches.
"It allowed me to discover another world, because, to me, Roma were a team I went to see in the stadium on a Sunday, not something that was a part of me at that point.
"In modern-day football it's [his loyalty] an exception, there are a lot of things to consider now.
"At certain times there was a slight possibility of [me] leaving, but deep down we [De Rossi and his father] share a love for this club and that's what keeps us going."
