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.
