Roma striker Fabio Borini remains thankful to Chelsea even though he failed to emerge at Stamford Bridge.
The London club signed the striker while he was a teenager at Bologna in 2007. He left the Blues in the summer for Parma, on a Bosman, after no new contract was agreed.
Roma striker Fabio Borini remains thankful to Chelsea even though he failed to emerge at Stamford Bridge.
The London club signed the striker while he was a teenager at Bologna in 2007. He left the Blues in the summer for Parma, on a Bosman, after no new contract was agreed.
“It’s easy to say now that Chelsea made a mistake in letting him go,” agent Marco De Marchi told Radio Calciomercato.
“However, myself and Fabio owe a lot to Chelsea and we thank them for helping the boy to grow in his career.
“Let’s just say that we are a little disappointed with the way it ended.”
The 20-year-old, following his move to Parma, was then sent out on loan to Roma. In January the Giallorossi signed 50 per cent of his contract.
The Italian Under-21 international has scored seven goals this season and could be included in the full Azzurri squad for the friendly against America next week.
