While the transfer window is officially closed in the major leagues, clubs can still sign players who are free agents. It was expected and it is now official: Spanish defender Mario Hermoso has joined AS Roma, who were still looking for reinforcements after the failed signings of Kevin Danso and Tiago Djalo. Chris Smalling’s departure accelerated the transaction with the Spaniard:
“AS Roma are delighted to announce the arrival of Mario Hermoso at the club. The 29-year-old left-footed defender has made over 300 professional appearances as a centre-back and left-back. Mario has chosen to wear the number 22 shirt. Hermoso is also the 18th Spanish player in the Giallorossi’s history to join the men’s first team.“, is written in the official press release published on the site.
