Mattia Destro hints at Roma exit

Mattia Destro says that his ambition is to be "among the starters", following reports that he will leave Roma this month.

Roma forward Mattia Destro has admitted that he could be forced to leave the club due to his lack of starts this season.

The 23-year-old has made 14 league appearances for the Giallorossi in the current campaign, but half of those have come from the bench.

"Am I like the sixth man in basketball?" Destro told Rivista Undici. "It's better to be in the first five. I like the comparison, but honestly my ambition is to be among the starters.

"The only thing that doesn't change is my commitment to give the best in every minute I play. At 23, you shouldn't be considered a youngster, but it must be said it's difficult for young players.

"And there's something that should make us think - if a young player has a certain level of ability they go abroad."

Destro is in his third season at Roma, having joined the club in July 2012 from Siena.
