Roma, OFFICIAL: Rudiger completes permanent deal. But he can leave...
Roma have activated their buy-out clause and completed the signing of German defender Antonio Rudiger from Stuttgart. The cost of the operation was €9 million plus bonus. The giallorossi announced the news a little earlier on its official website. The 23-year-old has signed a contract until 30 June 2020. He made 30 appearances last season for the capital club scoring two goals and he’s now with the German National team preparing for the European Championships”.
Despite this new deal, the player could still be sacrificed by the giallorossi if offers of €20 million or above are received. Chelsea have already expressed an interest in taking him next season.
