Dybala 'no more important' than Roma, says De Rossi

Paulo Dybala could be living his last hours at Roma. Al-Qadsiah are offering him €25m a year and De Rossi's words ahead of the Italian side's opening Serie A fixture look like he could be leaving.

"Dybala is called up, he's coming with us. We've heard some rumours, but as a coach, I can't comment on these things," he told reporters. "Here, no one is more important than Roma, this is a concept that must not be misrepresented."

De Rossi hopes it will be Dybala who will say as soon as possible whether he will remain in the team. "I can't take part in these talks and not even a manager can talk about what's going on because it's all hypothesis. Then Paulo will speak, for me he was and still is a very important player.

"I already said what I had to say to the club and Dybala. I can't do any more. Later I will say what I think," he added.
