AS Roma defender Philippe Mexès is at a crossroads and could decide to walk away from a contract renewal.
The 28-year-old centre-half only has one year left on his current contract and could leave on a free transfer next summer.
Roma have offered Mexès a new deal to extend his stay in the Eternal City, but the Frenchman admits he is unsure about staying as his place is under threat from the recent arrival of Nicolás Burdisso.
"Burdisso came back to Roma and it's obvious the competition has increased again," Mexès told France Football.
"I risk playing little and my contract will expire. Right now, I am seriously considering if it's worth prolonging it.
"The officials have already proposed me a four-year extension. I will think about it.
"If I don't get enough time in the starting XI in the first half of the season then I may decide against renewing it."
