    • He probably figures he’s nearing retirement and wants to play with less pressure in his native Rosario for a season or two…

      He won some decent trophies in his career in Europe and made some decent money while in Saudi.

      I like these stories of returning home, to your roots but in Argentina he is a lot more associated with his Boca days I guess…

      • I know… but there is still a lot of pressure in the clubs from Rosario. Usually before the clasicos between Central and Newell’s they threaten to death to at least one player
