The agent of Juan Manuel Iturbe has taken a dig at Roma coach Rudi Garcia.

Iturbe has struggled for minutes this season.

“Iturbe in my opinion is a phenomenon, and we saw that in the second half against Barcelona too," said his agent Gustavo Mascardi to LaRoma24.it.

“I don't know whether he's been understood properly at Roma. I think he hasn't been by his Coach [Garcia].

“That's certain enough and I already said it last year. I'm very sorry about the time wasted by [President James] Pallotta.

“From what I've seen, Iturbe's future doesn't worry me one bit. He can play in any club.

“I have a directive to transfer him away only if Roma ask me to find him a new team. So far the Giallorossi haven't told me anything. Bologna? I haven't heard of that."
