“I am very happy to be here and excited too. I can’t wait to start playing,” Marcano told Roma TV.

“I chose Roma because it’s a great club and has remarkable history. They are working very well, have a clearly-defined project and I think their philosophy of football suits my characteristics.

“This season, I have watched almost all Roma’s Champions League games, plus quite a few in Serie A. It’s a great team and already proved that by finishing third in a tough Serie A league and, of course, had a fantastic Champions League run to the semi-final.

“I already know Kostas Manolas, as we played together at Olympiakos and won the title there. As a collective, we all want to go as far as possible, while on a personal note, I’ll do everything I can to ensure Roma finish as high as possible.”
