Rosella Sensi is willing to consider offers to sell AS Roma provided the potential investors have the club's best interests at heart.

The three-time Italian champions have long been the subject of interest from a number of potential suitors.

Billionaire financier George Soros walked away from talks last year while the club denied this summer they had agreed to sell around 67% of the shares to a Swiss consortium for 201million euros.

"We are always available and ready to listen to those who present a serious project and who have the intention to do well for Roma," said Sensi in an interview with Guerin Sportivo. "So far, those things have not happened."

Roma fans demanded fresh investment after the team finished sixth last season, missing out on qualification for the Champions League, and were excited about the possible takeover.

"It's incredible how much weight has been given to unfounded rumours, even after we openly denied them," added Sensi.

"Roma fans are fantastic but they just have to focus on supporting the team without giving importance to speculation.

"A football team needs a united atmosphere to bring out its best."

Roma have struggled to make an impact this season, with poor results at the start of the campaign leading to the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti.

Since the arrival of Claudio Ranieri, the team appear to have left behind their troubles.

"I think Spalletti didn't have any motivation left in him," said Sensi. "Ranieri has done a very positive job so far.

"I think he has struck the right notes to help the players rediscover their motivation. He has shown personality and attachment to this jersey."

Roma lie 13th in the standings, six points behind Fiorentina, who hold the last Champions League qualifying spot.
