The Spaniard had a bumpy ride in Italy after coming with great expectations from the Barcelona youth squad.

Krkic played for Roma and Milan before leaving Serie A, but in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, he reveals he wasn't pleased with the time he spent there.

“I'm finally being played in my own role, unlike in Italy,” he said.

“I'm a striker. At the most I can play just behind the forwards, but not as a winger.

“Luis Enrique didn't know me well enough, I spent a complicated year working with him.

“Later, I wasn't part of the plans of the new Coach [Zdenek Zeman].

“And I had some problems with [director Franco] Baldini. On one day he was telling me to stay, on another that I may be sold. He disrespected me, that's all.

“But I'm grateful to Roma, they are the first club who opened their doors to me after Barcelona.

“It's a shame that our paths should have parted the way they did.”

The 24-year-old was also asked whether it was true that Roma icon Francesco Totti was overbearing to play with on the pitch.

“On the contrary. When you play with him you're the one who has to adapt, not the other way round. He's outstanding.”

Finally, Krkic was asked about some of Roma's targets on the transfer market.

“Iago Falque? We'll see if he can assert himself in Roma. It isn't easy, you have a lot of pressure.

“Carlos Bacca? He's an excellent striker, I recommend him to the club. He's strong.

“Asmir Begovic? He's experienced and he has character. I don't know anything about the negotiations, but they can't go wrong with him.”
