Juan Manuel Iturbe is “happy to be back at Roma, as I’m sure Luciano Spalletti can make me a better player.”
He spent the last six months on loan at Bournemouth, but the club did not activate its option to buy.
“As I’ve said many times, I am happy to be back at Roma, as I was so anxious to meet Spalletti and work with him,” Iturbe told Roma Radio.

“I know what he thinks about me and hope he decides that I can stay this season. I’m training for the good of the team and know this is going to be a very difficult campaign.
“My first year at Roma was not positive, as I didn’t have pre-season training and then suffered several injuries. I then went to England and trained hard, so when returning to Roma I was in good shape at last.
“I feel the fans are close to me, they know I can give a great deal for Roma and that I want to do things right. Maybe I was unlucky with injuries, as I tended to get hurt after big goals against CSKA Moscow and in Turin.
“Spalletti can help me become a better player. He works a lot on tactics and you too have seen in training he never wants you to get even one pass wrong. We’ve got to do it right or he’ll get angry!
“The atmosphere at Roma has always been wonderful, it’s a great group of lads and we like to joke around. I think with this Coach and the players who arrived in January, we can do very well.”
