Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has underlined his love for the club by telling Premier League side Arsenal that he has no intention of joining them.

On Friday, The Independent claimed Arsene Wenger was ready to tempt the Lupi with a €35 million bid for the Italian.

"Arsenal? I have not heard anything," De Rossi told the press on Saturday morning.

"Roma have said I am not for sale. I only want to stay here. Obviously things would change if Roma wanted to sell me, but they have always wanted to keep me."

De Rossi is not the only Roma midfielder linked with an English giant as Alberto Aquilani is reportedly on his way to Liverpool.

"Aquilani is going? If this is true then we will be losing a great player," added the No. 16.

The Italian has reflected upon last season's failures and he is hoping things change this term, eyeing a top-four finish.

"We have to do well because there is a gap between us and the first three teams," continued De Rossi.

"If we arrived fourth then we will have had a good season. Now we have to find the right mentality and winning culture as we lost it last year."
