The Salernitana It has been one of the most active teams in the winter transfer market of the A series. 11 reinforcements altogether to avoid relegation. The last one, that of the 33-year-old football player Diego Perotti. The Italian club announced it a few hours ago through Twitter.
The Argentine winger, formerly of Roma and Sevilla among other clubs, has not had it exactly easy. While playing for Fenerbahce, he suffered a serious injury unprecedented in an athlete. At the end of November 2020, in a derby against Besiktas, the union of the knee ligament was almost completely destroyed. A very unique mishap that the sports director of the Turkish team explained in this way: “There are eight cases in the world and seven of them are traffic accidents. This is the first time it has been seen in an athlete.”
After more than a year without playing, he returns to green
Perotti faces a tough and beautiful challenge together with Franck Riberywho at 38 years old has not been able to avoid the bad situation that the Salernitana is experiencing, last in the table with 11 points in 22 games. In fact, the Frenchman has been key in the Argentine’s decision: “Physically I’m fine. I’m ready to give 100% for Salernitana and play with a player like Ribery and be able to share a dressing room with him, it’s a dream for me”.
