Federico Coletta edging closer to Benfica: It was an honour | OneFootball

Benfica is likely very close to announcing the signing of Federico Coletta. On social media, the young international from the youth ranks of the Italian national team bid farewell to Roma fans, thanking them for all the affection and support over the past years. His next destination is the Clube da Luz.

“Thank you, Roma. After 10 years with this jersey, the time has come to say goodbye to what was much more than a team for me,” began Federico Coletta, a young international from Italy's youth teams, who is expected to cost Benfica a real bargain.

“Roma was home, family, a school of life. It made me grow as a footballer and as a man. It taught me what it means to fight, fall, get up... always with heart on the field,” continued Federico Coletta, a midfielder whom Rui Costa secured right at the close of the transfer window and who, for now, is expected to join Benfica's B team.

“I thank every teammate, coach, manager, kit man, everyone who was part of a journey I will never forget. It was an honor for me to have fought every battle by your side. I will carry with me every moment lived in “giallorosso”. To this city, this club, to every person who was part of my journey,” concluded Federico Coletta.

With the Roma jersey last season, Federico Coletta played 36 matches for the juniors, scoring 11 times, showing an impressive goal-scoring ability for a midfielder. The athlete is one of the great hopes of Italian football for the coming years of the National Team.
