Former Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini weighed in on the upcoming Serie A campaign.

The ex-Roma and Salernitana executive spoke to Okcalciomercato.

“The favorite remains Inter. The Nerazzurri have improved the team that dominated the league last year so it is normal for this to be the case.”

“As a surprise I say Roma because they are working with a very specific idea also on the market and are doing well in general. I think they will be good this year.”

“De Rossi? Daniele is a splendid person, he will have to give to Roma what he has given up to now. The team follows him and it shows.”

“The club’s choice is paying off because Daniele is a son of Rome and you can see that he is emotionally involved. This is a big plus. He must continue like this because he can truly be a nice surprise in this league.”
