Cagliari captain Daniele Conti has revealed he rejected an offer to join Roma in the past, in order to stay in Sardinia.

The 35-year-old son of Giallorossi legend Bruno Conti, played five times for the Roma first team, before moving to Cagliari in 1999, where he has stayed ever since.

One year, when Spalletti was coach, I had received an offer from Roma, but I discarded immediately, like the others I received over the years,” Conti told SportWeek.

My priority has always been to stay in Cagliari. I’m in the sixteenth season in a team that has not been my first club.

“It means that I have earned the esteem and affection of the club’s fans who have realized how strong my attachment is to the jersey and Sardinia.”
