Serie A star close to joining Roma, would love to move to Juventus
Speaking to Sky Sport (via our Italian page), Gomez said this about the Giallorossi’s interest: “it’s true. We’d not spoken about it directly, but something happened. I was very close [to joining]”.
Gomez was being interviewed alongside team-mate and close friend Andrea Petagna. The dynamic Atalanta duo had a lot of things to say about their future, especially in relation to Juventus.
“Juve signing [Mattia] Caldara? It’s a pity I wasn’t included in the deal!” Gomez commented.
“Juventus is a great club,” Petagna - a former Milan player - “it’d be nice to train alongside champions like Higuain, Mandzukic and others”.
Petagna (21) has got five goals and as many assists this season, while Gomez (29), a midfielder, has scored nine in the league, adding another five assists himself.
