Chelsea target Philippe Mexes vows not to stand by Roma

Roma defender Philippe Mexes has dismissed the prospect of joining Chelsea or AC Milan this summer. The France international insists his future lies in the Italian capital, despite enduring a disappointing season with the debt-ridden club. "I will remain at Roma," he said. "It always gives me pleasure when a team is interested in me but I am happy at Roma." Mexes is under contract with the Giallorossi for a further two seasons and is looking forward to the new campaign. The 27-year-old made 29 league starts as Roma finished a disappointing sixth in Serie A last term. "Last season was the worst one in my five years at Roma," he said. "I wouldn't want to leave the club like this, I want to prove my worth."
