AS Roma manager Paulo Foncesca has stated that Amadou Diawara remains a very important player for his team after the Guinean’s agent, Daniele Piraino, said he needed clarity on his future at the club.
Diawara was at the centre of controversy after he was registered as an Under-22 player in the Giallorossi’s Serie A season-opening game against Hellas Verona, although he was ineligible since he is currently 23 years old.
He played virtually the entire match which originally ended goalless.
