“He’s a player who’s doing very well, and who’s made a sensational impact in our league. We’re really happy to have him and we’re happy that he can be Roma’s center forward for a long time.”
“It’s clear that being eliminated in the Europa League round of 16 is a disappointment, it’s a disappointment for everyone, but we never set any minimum objectives for this season. We knew we had to restart a cycle, we’ve started again with a coach who is doing excellent things, we’re very happy. We’re also happy to be fighting for fourth place and we’re confident we can stay there until the end of the season.”
“Is Gasperini staying next year? For sure.”
