“Once upon a time, there was a little boy who lived in a country far away, Argentina, and he had a dream: become a football player. This is my story, come and play with me.”
The 32-year-old has been a key figure in Atalanta’s rise from relegation candidates to Champions League quarter-finalists, joining the club in 2014.
He spent most of his career in Italy, as was at Catania from 2010-13, with a brief spell in Ukraine for Metalist Kharkiv.
Papu has made 223 competitive appearances for Atalanta, scoring 53 goals and providing 61 assists.
