Roma stalwart and Italy international Daniele De Rossi is considering a switch to New York City FC, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia).

Empire of Soccer's Dave Martinez also claims that De Rossi is also garnering interest from the New York Red Bulls.

De Rossi has been linked with other clubs over the past couple of years, including Manchester City of the English Premier League, per Huw Silk of The Telegraph.

However, the 31-year-old also has one stipulation. He'll only leave if Roma wins the Scudetto this season. The Giallorossi are only three points behind league-leaders Juventus after 16 games.

De Rossi has a house in the United States and spends some of his vacations across the Atlantic. A move to the U.S. wouldn't be out of the ordinary for the midfielder.

The World Cup winner nearly left the team a few years ago, but he decided to stay after Roma lost to city rivals Lazio in the 2012/13 Coppa Italia final.

New York City FC could use a player of De Rossi's ilk. He's an excellent box-to-box midfielder who can break up any oncoming attack and transition the play forward. He can also play as a center back if necessary.

One of NYC FC's designated players, Frank Lampard, is set to stay on loan at Man City, according to David McDonnell of the Daily Mirror. However, De Rossi would probably join in the summer, considering his Scudetto promise.

De Rossi earned his 100th cap for Italy against Croatia on November 16. Only five other players have ever reached the century mark. He's played in nearly 350 league games for Roma and is Serie A's richest player.
