For a defender who enters, also one who leaves. Revolving doors at Roma regarding the defense. In the last days of the summer market, the Giallorossi club tried in every way to buy a defender and even succeeded twice: first Kevin Danso arrived, but the operation fell through at the time of the medical visits; then on the last day of the session Tiago Djalo landed in the Capital, but in the end this deal also fell through. However, a new center back in the shadow of the Colosseum has arrived anyway.
Let’s talk about Mario Beautifulwho should officially become a Giallorossi player today. After being negotiated by Inter and then being very close to joining Napoli, the former Atletico Madrid player – released since July 1st – is ready to marry the Rome for the next three years. The Spanish defender landed in Italy yesterday: he landed in Fiumicino shortly after 2pm, now all that is missing is a signature and an announcement.
For one who arrives, another who goes away, we were saying. English centre-back Chris Smalling will continue his career in the Saudi Pro League. The Roma player has reached an agreement with first division club Al-Fayha FC and will undergo fitness tests today on behalf of his new club before flying to Saudi Arabia. A two-year contract is ready for the former Manchester United player. Smalling out, Hermoso in. And De Rossi has his new defender.
