Batistuta says he will quit Argentina team after World Cup
First Published: Jun 20, 2001AS Roma top scorer Gabriel Batistuta has told Argentinian radio that he wants to end his career at Boca Juniors.
Batistuta was the club's record signing last year at £22 million and his 20 goals helped Roma to their first championship in 18 years.
The goal scoring legend has a contract with Roma to 2004 and says that after it is over he would like to play again in Argentina.
