Olivier Dacourt’s agent has revealed that his client wants to stay with Roma even if the club are unlikely to offer him a new deal.
Dacourt’s present agreement expires in June and the midfielder is desperate to continue his career in the Italian capital.
However, Giorgio De Giorgis has today confirmed that the Giallorossi seem intent on a future without the Frenchman.
“Olivier is very happy in Rome, we know that his wage demands are substantial but one must consider his desire and recent results,” the representative told Radio Incontro.
“I met with the club last week and although the directors value Dacourt, no concrete offers have been tabled.
“If Roma consider him as an important figure for them then we can talk about reaching an agreement.”
De Giorgis continued that a number of clubs have been in touch for the player's services, but no decision will be made until Dacourt officially becomes a free agent.
“A number of teams in England and France have come forward,” he continued. “Our intention is to wait until the very last day of his Roma contract before considering other offers.”
Dacourt has experience in the Premiership with both Everton and Leeds United, the club which the Giallorossi signed him from.
