Chris Smalling has joined Roma from Manchester United in an £18m deal.
After weeks of negotiations, the clubs held positive talks in the past days and a deal worth €15m plus €5m in add-ons was eventually struck.
Smalling, who has signed a three-year deal at the club with the option of an additional year, had been pushing for a move to Roma throughout the summer, where he impressed last year on a season-long loan.
“Nothing in life worth having comes easy,” Smalling told Roma’s club website.
“My head and my heart has always been in Rome. I am delighted to now be yours. Daje Roma!”
