He then remained in Primavera (literally, Spring) as overage player.[5] After the relegation as the 20th place and the bankrupt of Mantova, he was released. (Subsequently a new team entered in Serie D, Mantova effectively relegated 1+1 levels)

On 26 August he was sold to Brussels on free transfer, along with Parma 2 weeks "team-mate" Sulaiman Sesay Fullah, who also unable to register in Italy.[9] The transaction also made Roma had a non-EU registration quota.
