European: Real target De Rossi

Real Madrid's top target this summer will be Roma starlet Daniele de Rossi - according to the Italian media. Italian forecasters suggest that Robinho will join the Madrid giants, which will mean that attention is switched to a midfielder rather than more forwards. Roma are desperate to cling on to the international - who has had a huge impact since claiming his place in the first team.

However, in order to keep hold of Vincenzo Montella, Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano, the sale of the player may be sanctioned. De Rossi has only just agreed a new contract with the club - which runs through until 2008, ensuring that any sale would bring in a large transfer fee for the club.
