Montella takes Fulham flight
Wednesday 3 January, 2007
Vincenzo Montella’s era at Roma is over after he left the training ground today to complete his loan to Fulham.
The striker, nicknamed ‘Aeroplanino’ for his flying celebratory gesture, did not take part in today’s session at Trigoria and the fact was not mentioned on the club website, indicating he is already considered an ex-Giallorossi player.
It’s reported that Montella took a 21.30 flight from Rome’s Fiumicino airport towards London this evening.
Roma will pay around a third of his wages, which currently total £1.2m per season, during his six-month loan at Craven Cottage.
Released for the January transfer window after discovering he did not play a part in Coach Luciano Spalletti’s plans, he leaves after seven years at the Stadio Olimpico.
Although it is not yet official, even teammate Philippe Mexes admitted the switch to Fulham was a certainty.
“I hope he will score many goals in England and also that he one day comes back to Roma,” said the defender.
It could well be a temporary transfer, as Montella’s contract with the Giallorossi lasts until June 2010. He was, along with Francesco Totti, the only man remaining from the 2001 Scudetto winning team.
A group of fans waited outside the gates with a large banner that read: ‘We are with you, nine metres above the sky.’
The former Empoli and Sampdoria hitman scored 102 goals for Roma – 83 in Serie A, eight for the Coppa Italia, another eight in the UEFA Cup, two Champions League and one Italian Super Cup strike.
