“A lot’s been said about De Rossi, I know him and he’s opened his doors to coming here,” he told Closs Continental.
“[Him coming] would be the icing on the cake. I think Daniele can play for Boca. I know him well, I was with him for five years.
“He rates the team highly and watches all our games. There are things here that can’t be found in China and MLS, like the passion of the fans.”
