RULLI was Argentina’s starting goalkeeper at last year’s Olympics and while has not yet played a match for the senior team, he was called-up by new Argentina National Team coach Jorge SAMPAOLI for the team’s matches against Brazil and Singapore.

Sky Italia has reported that Leandro PAREDES alongside with his Roma teammate Kostas MANOLAS will be heading to Russia to sign for Zenit St. Petersburg.

I’m sure there is a lot of money involved in this deal but can’t say that I’m happy about this considering PAREDES is finally getting his shot with the National Team but has chosen to go Russia instead.
