Daniele De Rossi was not able to shed more light on Paulo Dybala’s uncertain future.

The Roma boss spoke after Cagliari 0-0 Roma tonight, addressing the media who insisted on knowing Dybala’s future plans given the recent rumors of a possible move to Al Qadsiah.

In his presser, De Rossi said, “You’re asking the wrong person.”

“Tonight he was focused on the match, he came on and played well and that’s it. I don’t think there’s any need to go over the situation with Saudi Arabia.”

“Cagliari? They were good, they set the pace of the match way up, that’s one of Nicola’s strengths. We played vertically, the pitch was dry and the ball didn’t go so I asked not to play in front of the penalty area. In the last 30 meters we could have done much better, but we had some chances.”

“The new signings? They’re all just getting started. Enzo did the first part of the training with a group made up mainly of young players from the Primavera. I see them all doing well, I see that we are close to getting something great from each one of them.”

“The squad? Numerically we are fine because there’s many of us. But it is premature to make evaluations as the market is still open.”

“Baldanzi? I am happy with him, I like how he trains.”
