Roma announce Ibanez signing as defender arrives from Atalanta on loan

Roma have announced the signing of Atalanta defender Roger Ibanez da Silva on loan with an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer of 2021.

The Brazilian, 21, joins the Giallorossi on an initial 18-month deal. Roma have then agreed to pay a fixed €8 million (£7m/$9m) transfer fee, dependent on him meeting certain targets.

There are also performance-related clauses included in the deal which are worth a maximum of €2m in bonus payments. Atalanta retain the right to 10 per cent of any future transfer fee if Roma choose to move him on prior to 30 June 2024.
