Paredes bids Roma farewell: “Forever my second home.” | OneFootball

Leandro Paredes has officially bid Roma farewell.

The Argentine midfielder returns to Boca Juniors after activating the release clause in his contract.

In an emotional social media message, Paredes announced his departure from the Giallorossi.

“I don’t know where to start. You were the first to welcome me when I was still a child, to give me and my family the love we needed to feel at home, and so it was.

ROME will always be my second home, it was my first and last team in Europe. I’m so sorry I couldn’t win something with you, but I leave feeling confident that I gave everything I had.

Two of my children are Roman, but all three are Roma fans.”

Then, he explained his choice: “It’s time to return home, where I’ve always dreamed of the team of my heart, and I know that the great Roman Roma fans will understand me.

Thank you for everything, to Roma and the city. We will always carry you in our hearts, we will always be Giallorossi. I love you.”
