Former Real Madrid man Julio Baptista notably failed to live up to expectations last term with Roma, leading to suggestions he could leave the club, but he is adamant he will turn things around next season with the World Cup around the corner.
The Giallorossi players convened at Trigoria yesterday to start pre-season training, but the Brazilian striker was absent as he is still on holiday after taking part in the Confederations Cup with the Selecao.
“I have never considered the possibility of leaving,” the ‘Beast’ told the Corriere dello Sport.
“I have three more years left on my contract with Roma and I want to honour it. There will be the World Cup next year and it’s very important for me to have a good season.
“I am settled in Rome and this club can give me the opportunity to have a great World Cup.”
Roma missed out on a Champions League place last season and there has barely been any action in the transfer market so far as the owners are engrossed in takeover talks.
“I don’t know what is going on and I prefer not to talk about situations I don’t know about,” said the 27-year-old.
“It’s a great disappointment to be left out of the Champions League. Last year it was Milan and now it’s our turn. A bad season can happen, but the important thing is to start over on the right foot.”
