Schick was on the brink of joining Juventus from Sampdoria over the summer, but he failed a medical and ended up joining Roma on loan.
The Czech international has made just one appearance for the Serie A outfit this term, coming on as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Verona in September.
And the 21-year-old has admitted he would be open to playing on a bigger stage one day.
“Money? I take it as motivation, and I hope that in a few years I can move to an even bigger club where logically I’ll be paid even more – that motivation has always helped me a lot,” he said.
“It’s not really possible to move much higher [than Roma] but there are a few clubs… let’s say Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United.”
Reflecting on why the Juve move never materialised, Schick added: “I was looking forward to it, and frankly in June I felt like a Juventus player, but I wasn’t…
“I knew it was nothing serious, just some inflammation that would pass soon.
“I was fine, and I knew there was enough time to rest and everything would be normal, but Juventus delayed my transfer.
“When I came back from my holiday, my agent said we had to go to Turin for another medical.
“I told him I wasn’t going anywhere, that it was already getting on my nerves and I’m not flying to Turin, it would be useless.
“It didn’t matter to me anymore, I was a little bit angry. The deliberations were unnecessary, and in the middle of July my £22million release clause ceased to apply.”
