Roma, Perotti: "I would like to return to Argentina before the end of my career. De Rossi? He likes Boca"

Roma's winger Diego Perotti discussed his dreams for the future in an interview with "La Oral Deportiva” on Radio Rivadavia. "I have a contract with Roma until June 2021, but I would like to return to Argentina before the end of my career. The first time that I returned to Boca I had some physical problems that I had also at Sevilla. They say that sometimes a fresh start in a new place could be key, but what matters the most is in the head. When I was at Boca I was close to retiring, because of the injuries. At the time I didn't even think about getting a call up for Argentina, I didn't think I could have kept playing. Anyway, I am happy with the career I have had, despite all the injuries".

The Argentinian was also asked about Daniele De Rossi's departure from Roma and the links with Boca Juniors: "If a player like him ponders a move to Boca, it means that the Argentinian supporters instill something positive. Foreign players want to know how it's like to play in an Argentinian stadium. I have many teammates, not only Europeans but also Brazilians, that say that Argentina is something different. Of course also the family has a say in these decisions, living in Argentina is not as serene as living in Europe. Moving to South America only for personal satisfaction would be an egoistic choice. I can say that De Rossi likes Boca, he used to watch the Superclasicos with Leandro Paredes, but I don't know if he wants to go there. It's a personal choice", concluded Perotti.
