Roma attacker Andrea Belotti sat down with Serie A ahead of Matchday 5 to speak about joining Roma, playing with Paulo Dybala, and the club’s supporters.
Roma Transfer
The 28-year-old Italian joined Roma on a free transfer following a seven year spell at Torino. Despite various enticing offers, the striker remained committed to waiting to sign for the club.
“Roma were my priority. I always thought that they’d be the right club for me. They’re a really ambitious club with clear ideas…”
Reunited With Paulo Dybala
Belotti and Dybala spent time with each other many years ago when both were breaking through the ranks at Palermo; in 2015, both moved away from the club to rival clubs in Torino and Juventus, respectively.
“We left Palermo at the same time… It’ll be a huge pleasure to play with him again…”
Giallorossi Supporters
Roma supporters are as excited as ever this season, and the arrival of Belotti – who has been a massive pillar in Serie A – has only taken this passion to the next level.
“Every time I faced Roma and heard the anthem before the match, I was very impressed. I can’t imagine how I’ll feel when I hear it for the first time as a Roma player…”
