Roma have sold Croatian defender Tin Jedvaj to Bayer Leverkusen, where he had previously been on loan.
The Croatian international joined the Giallorossi in 2013, but made just two Serie A appearances and was sent on loan to the Bundesliga side in the summer.
The 19-year-old has since nailed down a first team place, making 14 appearances in the League and scoring twice.
