Diego Maradona, symbol of
Boca Juniors, on Tuesday welcomed ex-Roma talisman Daniele De
Rossi to his hometown club.
"Ciao Daniele, I don't know you personally," the Argentina
and Napoli great told TYC Sports, "but you can be sure you can
rest very very easy Here. very easy with Boca and with me. See
you soon here. For us wearing the Boca shirt is like San Gennaro
dissolving the blood. I send you a kiss, and a greeting to your
family".
De Rossi, 35, after being let go by Roma, is set to travel to
Argentina Wednesday to sign a contract with the Buenos Aires
club.
A video of De Rossi jogging with Francesco Totti and Totti's
son, who is in the Roma junior team, spurred Argentine sports
daily Ole to ask whether Boca boss Gustavo Alfaro would like to
see De Rossi playing alongside his former teammate and even
bigger Roma icon, 43, who left a Giallorossi executive post
recently slamming the club's American owner James Pallotta.
