Luka Romero, having recently secured a loan move to UD Almeria, has shed light on his decision to request an exit from AC Milan in January. Despite an impressive preseason with Milan, where he even scored against Real Madrid, the Argentine struggled for playing time once competitive matches commenced, accumulating only 156 minutes across all competitions. Opting for a loan move, Romero chose Almeria over Boca Juniors, with reports suggesting Milan directed him towards LaLiga’s bottom-placed team for a specific reason, despite Romero being a lifelong Boca fan.
Speaking to Almeria’s official channels about his return to Spain, Romero expressed his satisfaction with the decision and highlighted the importance of playing more regularly for his career development. He emphasized his readiness to handle pressure on the pitch, drawing from his experiences with teams with high expectations. Romero conveyed his happiness with the opportunity at Almeria, citing the difference in the difficulty of football between Italy and Spain. He expressed gratitude for Almeria’s offer and clarified that his move was motivated by the desire for more playing time and a sense of importance on the field. While acknowledging discussions with Boca Juniors, Romero ultimately found Almeria to be a fitting place to continue his career and eagerly anticipated playing and enjoying the game.
