Official: Wijnaldum joins Roma from PSG

Georginio Wijnaldum has officially joined Roma on loan with option to buy from PSG, which could become an obligation under certain circumstances.

According to multiple reports, the deal is worth in the region of €10m and will be an obligation if the Giallorossi finish in the top four.

PSG are also covering approximately half his €9m per season salary during the loan period.

The 31-year-old Netherlands international midfielder had only joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer as a free agent after leaving Liverpool.

Before that, he had experiences at Newcastle United, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

He had his medical tests today after flying in yesterday evening, where he was greeted by hundreds of cheering fans at Ciampino Airport.

Roma have for several years now used player announcements to do some good in the wider community, taking advantage of the media attention to help the search for missing children around the world.
