Mexes: 'If Roma want me...'

By Football Italia staff

Philippe Mexes, about to leave Milan, sends a message to Roma: 'If Coach Luciano Spalletti needs me, I can help.'

The 34-year-old won't be offered a contract renewal by the Rossoneri, and he is considering his options.

The Frenchman formed a remarkable couple with Christian Chivu in his best days with the Giallorossi, and he could be useful in the capital after the injury of Antonio Rudiger.

“I can still offer very much, even if I play as the fourth or fifth defender for Roma,” he told Il Messaggero. “If Spalletti needs me, he can count on me.

“I remember him as a Coach with a great character. I'm free and I'll consider the best solution for my future. There are many teams that are being talked about, but for the moment I don't have any actual offer.”

Some of his old teammates are still there, like Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi.

“I have an excellent relationship with them and my seven years at Roma will always be in my heart. I've always been myself, without hiding.

“Totti deserves everything he gets, he gave his soul for the team and for the city.”

Miralem Pjanic recently announced his move to Juventus, not unlike Mexes' departure to Milan.

“It's easier when you're talking about Milan, but things get complicated when you're dealing with Juve. It's part of the market's dynamics.”
