"It's all a bit chaotic with luggage and the flight, but yes, it's emotional."
When Roma refused to offer him a new contract, he had been approached by other Serie A sides, above all Fiorentina and Sampdoria, but was not prepared to play for another Italian club.
He was convinced by the lifelong dream of playing for Boca at the Bombonera, holding negotiations with director of sport and his former Roma teammate Nicolas Andre Burdisso.
