Roma have played down reports that Daniele De Rossi could be set to join Real Madrid or Chelsea in January.

The Italian international was said to be high on the New Year wanted list of both Real and Chelsea.

But Roma have moved to reiterate that the 26-year-old is staying at the Stadio Olimpico.

"These are baseless rumours, Rossi is absolutely unsellable," Roma's technical director Bruno Conti told the Corriere dello Sport.

"He won't go either to Chelsea or Real Madrid, nor elsewhere.

"De Rossi is a player of Roma today, tomorrow and after tomorrow - I don't think there is much else to add."
