Seydou Doumbia admits he “can’t imagine” a scenario where he would return to Roma.
The striker joined the Giallorossi in January, but was loaned back to CSKA Moscow this summer, and the Ivorian believes the deal will be made permanent.
“I can’t imagine myself returning,” Doumbia told Jeune Afrique.
“Even though I still have a two-year contract with the Italian club, I think we’ll reach an agreement.
Seydou Doumbia admits he “can’t imagine” a scenario where he would return to Roma.
The striker joined the Giallorossi in January, but was loaned back to CSKA Moscow this summer, and the Ivorian believes the deal will be made permanent.
“I can’t imagine myself returning,” Doumbia told Jeune Afrique.
“Even though I still have a two-year contract with the Italian club, I think we’ll reach an agreement.
“It went wrong for me. The fans started whistling me from the first game, and it didn’t stop until I left.
“Why? The Coach [Rudi Garcia] made me play, when I had just returned from the Cup of Nations and I probably wasn’t ready.”
Doumbia then discussed his return to CKSA Moscow.
“It was the best solution, I know the club very well, as well as the Russian League. I needed to play, also so I could be called-up for the national team.
“I returned six months after I left, and it was like I’d left the day before. Little or nothing had changed. I left Russia because I thought it was time to experience a new League.
“I could have gone to England, but I chose Roma because the Coach is French and also because Gervinho, my compatriot, is there.
“It didn’t work out, maybe one day I’ll get another chance in a major European League.”
