Roma confirm signing of Sampdoria defender

Published on: 29 January 2016

Roma have completed the loan signing of Ervin Zukanovic from Sampdoria with the option to make the move permanent.

The 28-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international full-back turned down a move to the Bundesliga with Stuttgart in favour of a move to the Giallorossi and the chance to play Champions League football.

Vincenzo Montella’s Blucerchiati will receive an initial loan fee of €1.2 million with a figure close to €3M agreed should the move be successful and made permanent in the summer.

“Everyone dreams of playing for a big club like Roma and now I have succeeded in doing this,” the former Chievo man told Roma TV.

“For me, this is a great achievement and I’m very happy to be here.”

Zukanovic will join fellow international teammates Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic in the capital.
