Daniele De Rossi will announce at a press conference on Tuesday that he has snubbed a £31 million move to Manchester City to stay at Roma, Goal.com has learned.

The Premier League champions have upped their long-standing interest in the Italian international in recent days, culminating in them making two bids for the player.

Sources have told Goal.com that a second City offer of £31m was submitted to Roma on Saturday and the Premier League champions had also prepared a £7million-a-year-contract.

But De Rossi has decided to reject City’s interest and stay at the club he joined as a 17-year-old.
