The two were at Empoli last season, the Argentine midfielder played a new role under Giampaolo- this is what Paredes told As Roma Match Program about facing his former manager:"He's a great coach. We had a good relationship at Empoli, I'm very happy to see him again. He was the one, who after a week at Empoli, put me in the middle of the pitch. I think he made the right choice and I have to thank him for having faith in me. My father had told me that the Regista role was my future" Throught out the summer Paredes was linked to numerous teams including Liverpool and Milan, but he had made up his mind:"My choice was always to stay and luckily I was able to"
