Ante Coric ‘doesn’t know why Roma didn’t play me’ and claims Almeria is a ‘better’ city than the Italian capital.
Coric ended an unhappy spell at Roma in the final week of the transfer window, joining second-tier Spanish side Almeria on loan with option to buy.
“I don’t know why Roma didn’t play me,” the 22-year-old was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.

“I don’t know why Roma didn’t play me,” the 22-year-old was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.
“Almeria are a good opportunity for me at this point. The city is also very beautiful, better than Rome.
“We hope to go up right away in La Liga, but we know the Segunda Division is very competitive.”
The midfielder was previously likened to fellow Croat Luka Modric, so how does he view the comparisons now?
“I’ll give my all as a No 10 and I appreciate the comparisons with Modric.”
