According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, over recent weeks Burdisso has become the favorite to land the prestigious role at the capital club given his excellent rapport with Daniele De Rossi.

With De Rossi’s confirmed long-term stay at Roma, the newspaper reports that Burdisso is now favored over Monza exec Francois Modesto.

In addition to being teammates at Roma from 2009 until 2014, Burdisso was also responsible for convincing De Rossi to join Boca Juniors in 2019.
