Leandro Paredes on his Roma future: โ€œI was happy until De Rossi leftโ€

Serie A side Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes indicated a future away from the club.

Speaking to ESPN via Forza Roma.info from the Argentine camp, Leandro Paredes voiced discontent due to being left out of a starting role at Roma during the current season. The 30-year-old cited Daniele De Rossiโ€™s departure as one of the major reasons for the fallout in his attachment with the Giallorossi. He said: โ€œI was very happy at Roma until De Rossi left. Weโ€™ll see what happens.โ€

Upon asked whether he is willing to make a return to Boca Juniors following this season, Paredes answered: โ€œI have not spoken to Fernando Gago, weโ€™ll see if he calls me or not.โ€ย The Roma man developed himself through the youth ranks of Boca before being loaned out to Chievo and making a positive impression with his present club on-loan which earned him a permanent transfer at the start of the 2014-15 season.

With Claudio Ranieri imminent to return to the Roma bench, Paredes will hope to regain his form and make himself in contention for a regular place in the starting line-up.
