Angelino decides to stay at Roma | OneFootball

Until a few weeks ago, he seemed destined for Al-Hilal, but now he’s one of the most determined players in the Trigoria training camp.

Angeliño has decided to stay at Roma and play his cards right with Gian Piero Gasperini, as reported by Il Tempo.

In June, the left-back was ready to leave to sign with the Saudi club, a deal that would have netted Roma €26 million and a monstrous salary for the player.

But the Arab club’s failure to make a move has reopened the door to a stay in the capital.

“I’ve never expressed any desire to leave,” is the statement from those close to the player.

The former Manchester City and Leipzig player, born in 1997, has shown excellent form and is eager to build on the good work he did last season. In these first weeks of preparation, he’s been among the brightest: pace, intensity, and a spirit of sacrifice are the weapons he’s using to earn a leading role in the new Giallorossi era.
