Italian veteran midfielder and Roma legend Daniele De Rossi has finally decided on where he will continue his soccer career. De Rossi, who had interest from Europe, China, and MLS, opted to sign with Argentinian powerhouse Boca Juniors.

De Rossi left Roma this summer after spending 18 years with the club and has tinkered long and hard about his next step. The 36-year-old was reportedly close to retirement at one point but ultimately decided that he can still play at a high level and joined Boca.

“He will bring experience and hierarchy,” – said Boca coach Gustavo Alfaro during a press conference. “We want him to provide his hunger to win. He will arrive on Thursday and we will see how he is physically.”

“We are adding a player that has a huge career and we want him to be one more in this group, that he dreams of winning everything with Boca,” Alfaro added.

Daniele De Rossi played 616 games in all competitions for Roma scoring 63 goals in the process and helping the team win two Coppa Italia trophies. De Rossi was also a key member of Italy national team for several years and was part of the team that won the World Cup in 2006.

Daniele De Rossi will leave Seria A giants Roma this summer after spending 18 years with his hometown club. But De Rossi still wants to play at the age of 35, and it seems like he already picked his next destination.  According to ESPN’s Sports Center, the Italian midfielder will join MLS side LAFC once his contract with Roma expires.

Since Roma made it known that they won’t extend De Rossi’s contract, numerous clubs expressed interest for his services. It seemed like the player was close to joining Argentinian powerhouse Boca Juniors, but the move to the U.S. ended up looking like a more attractive option.

Reportedly, however, Daniele De Rossi could still embark on a stint in Argentina despite agreeing on an MLS move. According to sources close to the situation, De Rossi is considering an option to play with Boca before joining LAFC. In this case, he would come to the U.S. in time for 2020 MLS season.

Since making his professional debut in 2001, De Rossi played a total of 616 games with Roma and scored 63 goals in the process. Some of his career highlights with the team include two Coppa Italia trophies and Supercoppa Italiana win in 2007.
