This will be the Brazilian’s second foray into Italian football after he made five appearances for Roma in the 2013-2014 season.
The Giallorossi, however, decided not to take up the option of signing the now 24-year-old for €5.5 million.
Toloi will likely replace Yohan Benalouane who has moved on from la Dea to join Leicester City for €8 million earlier in the summer.
