Adriano: My future is in Brazil

Adriano has revealed that he aims to return to Brazil after his contract at Roma was canceled this week.

The Brazilian had signed a three-year deal with Roma last summer, but the contract was terminated last week.

Adriano says that he wants to return to Brazil despite interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

“The choice to return to Brazil is the right one,” Adriano told Il Corriere dello Sport.

“I have two children, I am with the mother of my children and I miss them a lot. Each time I call them I feel like crying. I can no longer be far away from them and it’s not easy to bring them here.

“I was unlucky at Roma but perhaps it was a sign from God to tell me that it would be better for me to return to Brazil.”

“I hope the fans are not angry with me and I hope they understand who I am. I decided with the club that to end the contract was the best solution for everyone.
“I have not been able to succeed at Roma, mainly due to injuries. Never in my career had I suffered so many injuries.

“Each time I was finding my form I was forced to stop because of a physical problem. I lose so much money but I want to be happy with my family.

“Today I can leave with my head held high. I haven’t treated anyone badly and I have always respected everyone. I leave Roma but I will not stop playing.”
