Juventus defender Tiago Djalo has reportedly given his approval to a transfer to Roma, who are currently negotiating with the Old Lady over the final details of a loan with option to buy.

Roma contacted Juventus on Monday to discuss Djalo’s availability.

Where Roma and Juventus stand in Tiago Djalo talks

According to updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are requesting a €1m loan fee for the season, with a €6m option to buy plus a cut of the profits from any future transfer.

Tuesday’s report suggests that Roma are willing to pay up to €7m for the buy option, but that would be in place of a sell-on clause. The two clubs will continue to iron out the final details in the coming hours.

If all goes well, Roma and Juventus could reach a final agreement as early as Tuesday night, according to this afternoon’s update.

If the move does go through, Roma will be the third Serie A club that Djalo has represented, as he also spent time on Milan’s books as a youth player. It will also be the second season in a row that Juventus have loaned a defender to Roma, who also had Dean Huijsen for the back end of the 2023-24 campaign before his move to AFC Bournemouth.

He moved to Juventus from Lille in January at a cost of €3.6m plus up to €3.1m in bonuses. He was into the final six months of his contract in Ligue 1 at the time. However, he now fins himself further down the pecking order under Thiago Motta, who looks set to stick with a back four rather than a back three this season.

Djalo has therefore requested a move away from the club this summer, despite only joining Juventus seven months ago.
