Mattia Destro has said that he is a "Roma player right now" amid speculation linking him with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico.

Destro rescued a point for the Giallorossi in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Palermo - his first start in over a month.

Speculation has mounted that the 23-year-old could leave the Italian capital this month after finding first-team opportunities hard to come by, with coach Rudi Garcia ruling out a departure yesterday.

"I am a Roma player right now," Destro told Sky Sport Italia after Saturday's stalemate.

"My position is that I am a striker, I want to do well, to play and to score. We didn't win, but I am happy that I scored."

The Italy international's contract expires in 2017.
