AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko has revealed he's been offered captaincy.

Dzeko has just signed a new contract with the Giallorosso.

I'm happy when I see how the others are happy that I stayed with my teammates," the 33-year-old told Roma TV.

I don't want to call them just that. They're also friends, brothers. They were always there to put pressure on me, telling me, 'you're not going anywhere, stay here.'

I have a wonderful relationship with everyone. Pellegrini and Florenzi told me every day, 'you're going to stay.'

Florenzi told me, 'if you sign on, I'll give you the armband.' And then after I signed, he said 'it's yours,' but I replied, 'no, you are Ale. You're our captain and you're staying.'"
