Veretout: “If Roma ever need me, I’m there.”

Jordan Veretout expressed his fondness for his time at Roma in an interview with Retesport. He recounted the thrill of helping the team, running extensively, and even scoring goals during his tenure in Rome. Veretout spoke of the three spectacular years he spent in Rome, emphasizing how much his family enjoyed living there and how he formed numerous friendships. The hard-fought Conference win only added to his emotional farewell to the city.

The French midfielder decided it was the right time to return home after his third year in the capital. There was an offer from Marseille, which piqued his interest as a formidable team in France. Veretout praised Gian Piero Gasperini, calling him a great coach both in Italy and Europe. He expressed hope for Roma to win the Scudetto in the coming season, believing he would have thrived under his management and further enhanced his skills.

Marseille's Tudor played a similar system to the one Veretout experienced in Rome, prompting him to consider coaching at Marseille. Atalanta had also shown interest in Veretout during his time in Rome, and he believed Gasperini might have expressed a similar desire for him to join Atalanta. Veretout highlighted his relationship with Mourinho, stating that they had a strong bond, though he couldn't agree to a renewal. The offer from Marseille followed, and Veretout and his wife decided to return to the capital together.

Veretout also shared his experience in Doha, where he found joy in his life despite the challenges of football. His primary focus remained his family, prioritizing their well-being. Should Roma reach out to him in the future, he would be willing to contribute, emphasizing his availability and readiness to help the team.
