Barcelona winger Carlos Perez is excited to be joining AS Roma.
Perez arrived from Barca on a loan deal with an obligation to buy for €13m.
“I'm really happy, I'm really excited to start training alongside my new teammates," Perez told the official Roma website.
“I've spoken with the coach and I'm really ready to go."
Perez states that coach Paulo Fonseca played a key role in convincing the Spaniard to leave Camp Nou.
“His comments before I came here really motivated me and they helped convince me to make this move.
“He told me that he will explain in great detail all the things he expects from me and I can't wait to repay the faith he has shown in me already."
He added: "I want to challenge myself against Italian defences, which everyone says are some of the toughest around – that's another motivation to do well.
“I can't wait to measure myself against such challenges and help my teammates in front of goal."
