AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli has paid a touching tribute to Italian national team and former Roma teammate Daniele de Rossi.

Before De Rossi joined Milan, he had spent some seasons under the leadership of De Rossi at Roma and has even shared a dressing room with the giallorossi legend for the Azzurri.

With De Rossi leaving Roma at the end of the season after a 19-year long stay at the Stadio Olimpico, Romagnoli has paid tribute to his former veteran teammate.

Sei sempre stato un punto di riferimento, un Capitano, ma sopratutto un Uomo vero, con valori che poche persone, soprattutto nel nostro mondo, possiedono. Mancherai a tutto il mondo del calcio e a tutti quelli che hanno avuto la fortuna di conoscerti. In bocca al lupo Dani. #DanieleDeRossi #DDR #16
