Daniele De Rossi who has played his whole career for AS Roma says he is fulfilling a dream by joining Boca Juniors.
The veteran midfielder was confirmed as a Boca player on Thursday after leaving boyhood club Roma at the end of his contract.
The 2006 World Cup winner was tempted by the prospect of a switch to MLS, with Los Angeles FC said to have been interested in his signature.
However, the 36 year old has followed his heart by moving to the Bombonera to play for a club co-founded by Italians at the beginning of the last century.
He revealed that his love for the stadium and passionate Boca Juniors fans was a major factor that eased his move to the club. He confessed his love for the club saying he had always loved the club since he was a boy.
