Benfica’s new signing says goodbye: The time has come | OneFootball

Federico Coletta has already said goodbye to Roma's fans and is expected to be officially announced as Benfica's reinforcement very soon. In a social media post, the athlete thanked all the affection he received at the Italian club over the past years and highlighted that it was an honor to be a Giallorosso.

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

"Roma was home, family, a life school. It made me grow as a footballer and as a man. It taught me what it means to fight, fall, get up... always with the heart on the field", continued Federico Coletta, a midfielder that Rui Costa signed just before the market closed and who, for now, is expected to join the B team's training at Benfica.

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

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