 Argentine giants Boca Juniors and River
Plate spotted him when he was a youth player for Argentinos
Juniors. He chose to move to Boca in 1995, as he had grown up
supporting them, and they paid US$800,000 for his signature. A
year later, on November 10, 1996, Romy played his first
professional match (Boca Juniors 2 - 0 Unión de Santa Fe) and
two weeks later he scored his first senior goal (Boca Juniors 6
- 0 Huracán).
In 2002, after seven successful seasons with Boca Juniors, the
central midfielder was transferred to FC Barcelona for 9 million
Euros. |
