Roma have officially completed a deal for Argentinian talent Matias Soule following a long set of talks with Juventus.
The Giallorossi quickly identified the 21-year-old forward as an exciting option to bolster Daniele De Rossi’s squad this summer and fought hard with Leicester City to secure a deal for the player. They ultimately agreed a deal worth €26m plus €4m in various add-ons.
Soule arrived amidst much fanfare in the Italian capital on Sunday evening and underwent his medicals with Roma on Monday morning. He agreed to sign a five-year contract worth circa €2m net per season plus add-ons.
