Dad admits Roma winger Diego Perotti fancies Boca Juniors move

The father of Roma winger Diego Perotti admits he fancies a move to Boca Juniors.

Perotti has complained about the state of Italian pitches this week.

Dad Hugo told Crack Deportivo: “He has one more year on his contract. I know there are two teams from Europe who want to sign him.

“He's very excited about coming back, like he was last time because he wanted to play with Riquelme, his lifelong idol.

“Boca have to want him too, although I know the fans will want him if he stays fit.

“I hope, as a father, I can see him again wearing Boca's shirt, I'd be proud. Seeing him lift the Copa Libertadores with Boca is my life's dream. It would complete me."
