Rolando may snub Juventus in favour of Roma – Portuguese Primeira Liga news
The Turin-based outfit, Juventus FC, were targeting the 25-year-old to bolster their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 but the player’s agent, Peppino Tirri, has revealed that his client would favour a move to Stadio Olimpico in Rome instead.
"He would be keen to join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 if his conditions were met. We will soon discover what the future holds: whoever wants him will have to come up with an offer in the region of €15 million." Tirri said.
"He is not a young lad. If he had to choose between a tempting proposal and the chance to take part in major competitions in the immediate future, which is what Porto have offered him, he might go for the latter. The former would depend on how good the proposal
was," the agent concluded.
The Selecao International started his career with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 of S.C. Campomaiorense, but later moved to C.F. Os Belenenses. At Estádio do Restelo, he developed into a sturdy and no-nonsense defender. His solidarity at the back enabled the club to finish
at a very respectable eighth place in the 2007/08 season.
His astonishing match experience and defensive aggression enticed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108 at the back,
forcing veteran http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Emanuel to the bench. He also found the back of the net three times in only 28 outings, as the Portistas won the League and Cup double in his maiden season.
The 2010/11 was the most memorable in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rolando-c31583’s career to date as he played in nearly all of the outfit’s matches and his impressive performances at the back helped the club haul the UEFA Europa League, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese
Super Cup – all in one campaign!
The defender’s stocks have dramatically risen since his debut for the Portuguese National Team. Although he primarily featured for the U-21 side, he was present on the bench in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 last year during the Selecao’s World Cup run.
The imposing centre-back could prove to be the catalyst in the revival of Juventus, but for now it seems as if he will be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 the Roma colours next season.
