A genuine legend of the beautiful game, it has been sad to see his talents wasted on the bench at AS Roma.

Seemingly unloved by club manager Luciano Spalletti, the captain has had to spend the majority of the current season away from the helter-skelter action of 90-minute football. Banished to the fringes of the fold, the 39-year-old has been shown little respect having featured in just 12 matches across all competitions.

Only last season, he was the club’s joint-top scorer in the league alongside Adam Ljajic with eight goals. Injury has played its part in cutting his minutes short but the main reason has been Spalletti not selecting him to play.

Transfer rumours continue to rumble in the background that the ex-Italy international could be set for a move away from the club he has been at since 1992, with Leicester City reportedly poised to splash the cash on his services.
