Roma Star hoping to leave in January

Roma Star hoping to leave in January

AS Roma star Diego Perotti was considered one of the most vital players for his club last season and now he suddenly became a liability.

The Argentinian wanted a move away from the Capital last summer but no team was able to reach a full agreement with the Giallorossi. Now with all the new faces at the club, Perotti is struggling to find playing time since the kick-off of the campaign.

Perotti scored five goals and four assists in Serie A last season and he played a crucial role in leading La Magica to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The 30-year-old played for Genoa in Italy, he represented Boca Juniors in Argentina and won the UEFA Europa League with Sevilla.

According to Corriere della Sera, in January the opportunity for a sale could reappear: until then Perotti will have to continue working and stay fit.  Villarreal and Valencia remain hoping to land the player, and currently a return to Argentina is not excluded.
