Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi is reportedly considering retirement rather than moving on to a different club.

The Giallorossi captain will play his last match for his boyhood club on Sunday when they take on Parma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Sevilla director of sport Monchi announced former Roma Coach Eusebio Di Francesco “will not come here” after reports of a reunion.

Monchi quit Roma in protest after the club sacked Di Francesco in February, bringing in caretaker manager Claudio Ranieri.

There were multiple suggestions the tactician was in negotiations to take on the Sevilla bench for next season.

“With regards to Di Francesco, he will not come here,” Monchi told Estadio Deportivo at an event leading up to the Copa del Rey.

Roberto Mancini assures Italy will “have our say at Euro 2020 with attacking football that is entertaining and gratifying. We are ahead of schedule.”

The Azzurri have started Euro 2020 qualifying with victories over Finland and Liechtenstein, but visit Greece on June 8 and host Bosnia on June 11.

“There are teams that are ahead of us. France, first and foremost, but none of them have superstars to make the difference,” Mancini told La Stampa newspaper.

Roma Coach Claudio Ranieri claims racist abuse in Italian stadiums “is not real racism, or at least it’s only a very small part of it.”

The debate continues in Italy over how to deal with racist jeers from fans, but former Chelsea and Leicester City manager Ranieri does not see it as a big problem.

“The racism you hear in stadiums is just something very silly to mock, in a very, very stupid way, a lad whose skin colour is not as light,” Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport in a filmed interview.

Roma are reportedly the favourites to sign Alessio Cragno, although Monaco are also interested in the Cagliari goalkeeper.

He turns 25 next month and has been one of the most consistently impressive shot-stoppers in Serie A this season.

According to Tuttosport, Roma and Monaco are prepared to duel on the transfer market for his signature this summer.

The Giallorossi are seemingly ahead, partly because they are offering him a five-year contract, but also as these clubs have already done business.

Torino director Gianluca Petrachi denied agreeing to a new role at Roma. “They are not the only club interested and I haven’t decided yet.”

The 50-year-old recently announced he was stepping down from his role at Torino, after spending the past nine years as the Granata’s sporting director, and has been heavily linked with taking over at the Stadio Olimpico.

“They are not the only club interested, and I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet,” Petrachi told Sky Sport Italia.

Inter are reportedly ready to pay the €30m release clause for Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, but must now convince the player, who is also courted by Manchester United.

According to FcInterNews.it, the Nerazzurri have been long-time admirers of the Italy international and are willing to offer him a five-year contract worth €2.7m a year in wages to move this summer.

Italy have named their squad for the Women’s World Cup, which will be held in France from June 7 to July 7.

Champions Juventus make up the bulk of the squad with eight of their players called up, Milan have six and Fiorentina and Roma each have three.

Juve’s Cristiana Girelli is the squad’s top goalscorer with 27 in 51 appearances and is followed by Milan’s Daniela Sabatino with 20 in 45 caps.

The Azzurre haven’t qualified for the World Cup since 1999 when they finished third in their group behind Brazil and Germany.

Claudio Ranieri has instructed everyone at the Olimpico to give Daniele De Rossi a standing ovation during Roma-Parma on Sunday.

De Rossi will be playing his final game as a Roma player this weekend after it was announced that he would be leaving his only club.

“De Rossi will play from the first minute with his armband,” Ranieri said at a Press conference.

“He deserves a standing ovation from the entire Olimpico. It must be a party, he has to have a great game.
