De Rossi expresses fear over Roma's lack of Dybala

Dybala's possible move to the Saudi Pro League is generating a lot of buzz.

And after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Cagliari, De Rossi said: "I won't go back to this story again, I'm just saying that a Roma without Paulo would scare me. The team is numerically fine, if someone leaves, but if we manage to replace him with functional and strong players we will move forward with the players who arrive."

On Artem Dovbyk's debut, De Rossi added: "In the first half it wasn't an easy game for him, we didn't put him in the best conditions to express himself while in the second half he did much better.

"I have the feeling he'll score a lot of goals."
