Daniele de Rossi Moves to Boca Juniors🇦🇷

-

Former Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi has signed with Boca Juniors, the Argentine giants have announced.

De Rossi joins the club on a short-term contract, after playing over 600 times across nearly two full decades with Roma.

His time with the Serie A side came to an end following the 2018-19 season, with the midfielder posting an emotional farewell in which he thanked current and former team-mates and "every Roma fan" for his time with the club.

Boca made their intentions clear last week amid rumours that the 35-year-old was destined to sign for the Argentine outfit, claiming that the deal was "99 per cent" done and that De Rossi would in fact be flying to Buenos Aires to finish off the deal.

De Rossi arrived in Argentina on Thursday amid massive fanfare, with Boca posting on social media accounts when he arrived in the country and essentially confirming his signing hours later with a slightly cryptic post showing him at the club and another saying he was "home".
