It was expected and it is now official: Juventus has sold its young Argentinian nugget, striker Matías Soulé, to Daniele De Rossi’s AS Roma, which is strengthening its offensive lines after the departures of Romelu Lukaku, Andrea Belotti, Sardar Azmoun and Houssem Aouar. The amount of the transaction is said to be around 30 million euros with bonuses. Last season, the 21-year-old Argentinian scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 39 games, all competitions combined.
“AS Roma is pleased to welcome Matias Soulé to the Giallorossi family. At the Giallorossi, he will wear the number 18. A non-trivial jersey, which in 2000-01 – the year of the third scudetto – belonged to another Argentinian who needs no particular introduction, Gabriel Omar Batistuta. And until 2006, it belonged to Antonio Cassano, an unpredictable playmaker with ballistic and dribbling abilities. Welcome to Rome, Matias!“, is written in the club’s official statement. At Roma, Soulé will join his compatriots Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes.
