Osasuna striker Bernardo Romeo has announced his intentions to return to his native Argentina to play for former club San Lorenzo de Almagro.
Romeo confessed his desire to return to the Argentine champions, and said that Osasuna is likely to agree to release him in the next few days.
“I want to return because there [at San Lorenzo] I experienced my best moments”, said the Argentine.
Romeo, who started his career at Estudiantes de La Plata, helped Argentina win the U-20 World Cup in 1997, but hasn't been given much of a chance to impress for the senior national team.
He is seen as a San Lorenzo idol after helping the club win both the Clausura Championship and the Copa Mercosur in 2001.
San Lorenzo manager Ramon Diaz has made clear his interest in the player, after the recent departure of star striker Ezequiel Lavezzi to Italian club Napoli.
“I have to present myself at Osasuna because on Saturday we will begin the preseason. I will go there because one year still remains in my contract, but when we come to an agreement with San Lorenzo I will take the first plane available and will join the squad no matter where it is”, Romeo commented.
He affirmed that he is looking forward to returning to his former club because at San Lorenzo he experienced his “best moments as a footballer, and the club did everything possible for him to return".
According to Romeo his agent is in Spain trying to resolve the situation as soon as possible. He also said both clubs are likely to come to an agreement during some time next week.
