De Rossi still wanted by Boca despite links with LAFC

Boca Juniors sporting director Nicolas Burdisso is hopeful of bringing Daniele De Rossi to Argentina, even as reports claim he is set to join Los Angeles FC.

Roma great De Rossi left the Serie A club at the end of the 2018-19 season but insisted he was not planning to retire. This caused a great deal of controversy as the move to let De Rossi, who had been at his home-town club in Italy’s capital since a boy, leave sparked protests from Giallorossi supporters.

The 35-year-old played his final match for Roma on May 26, when they pulled off a 2-1 victory versus Parma.
