Done deal: Roma have agreement for Salah-Eddine with Twente | OneFootball

Roma have reached an agreement with Eredivisie side FC Twente over a permanent deal for full-back Anass Salah-Eddine on deadline day.

The 23-year-old is considered a replacement for summer signing Samuel Dahl, who is set to join Benfica before the close of the transfer window at 11.00 GMT on Monday night.

According to reports from multiple outlets including Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma are set to close the deal with Twente for a fee somewhere between €7m and €8m.

The Giallorossi already have an agreement in place with the player on personal terms according to Monday afternoon’s update.

It is now a race against time for Salah-Eddine to travel over to Italy and complete his medical, document signing and other formalities before the transfer window slams shut at 11.00 GMT.

The Netherlands U21 international is set to become Roma’s third signing of the January transfer window following the arrival of his compatriot Devyne Rensch from Ajax earlier in January and the signing of back-up goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, who replaced Maty Ryan, now at Ligue 1 side Lens.

Roma are also hoping to add Galatasaray’s Victor Nelsson to their ranks before the end of the January transfer window.
