De Rossi Signs for Boca Juniors after Roma Exit

By Daily Sports on July 26, 2019

Boca Juniors have signed Italian veteran midfielder Daniele De Rossi, the club announced on Thursday.

De Rossi, 36, has joined the Argentinian giants as a free agent after leaving AS Roma in June following 18 years at the club.

Boca posted a video of De Rossi on Twitter with the message: “He is at La Boca!”

A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, De Rossi was given a hero’s welcome by a group of screaming Boca fans, who chanted a song in his honour as he landed at Buenos Aires airport in the early hours of Thursday.

A fervent Boca fan, De Rossi underwent a medical before putting pen to paper on a short-term contract with the Xeneize. He then stepped onto the Bombonera pitch wearing a Boca jersey.

Boca coach Gustavo Alfaro spoke with great enthusiasm about the addition of a player of De Rossi’s calibre. De Rossi, who earned 117 caps for Italy, scored 63 goals in 616 appearances for Roma.

“He will bring experience and hierarchy,” Alfaro said in a news conference on Wednesday . . . We want him to provide his hunger to win. He will arrive on Thursday and we will see how he is physically.

“We are adding a player that has a huge career and we want him to be one more in this group, that he dreams of winning everything with Boca.” (ESPN)
