Roma have reportedly completed a move for Barcelona starlet Antonio Sanabria.
The Giallorossi will pay around €5 million for the 17-year-old, and the player is expected to rake in a salary of €700,000 per annum.
The Paraguayan has been in demand in recent weeks, and Italy’s capital club have waved off competition from Arsenal as they tie him up to a five year deal, according to Il Messagero.
Sanabria is expected to be loaned out to another Serie A side following his imminent arrival in Rome. Although the player’s buyout clause stands at €3 million, the inclusion of taxes will see the sum rise closer to €5 million.
The former Barca B striker is expected to put pen to paper and finalise the deal later this week as he starts a new chapter in his young career.
