Roma defender hoping to make move permanent

Roma defender Lucas Digne has admitted it is his preference to remain in the Italian capital ahead of next season after an impressive finish to the Serie A campaign.

The 22-year-old full-back hopes his loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain is made permanent for the upcoming season as the Giallorossi will be looking to build on a third place finish under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti.

“If it were up to me, I would stay in Rome,” Digne told RMC Radio in France.

“I have no decision-making power, I haven’t yet discussed it with PSG. I’m concentrating on the Euros for the moment. We’ll see about it later.

“I’ve had a very good season with Roma and I feel very good at this club.”

Digne made a total of 32 league appearances, scoring three goals since arriving in Rome last August.
