Done deal: Roma have agreement for Gourna-Douath

According to reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the former Saint-Etienne midfielder will join the Giallorossi on an initial loan deal with an option to make the move permanent for a fee of €18m. 

It has been a productive transfer deadline day for the Giallorossi, who also have an agreement in place with Eredivisie side FC Twente over a deal for defender Anass Salah-Eddine. 

Gourna-Douath and Salah-Eddine are set to become Claudio Ranieri’s third and fourth signings of the January transfer window, following the earlier arrivals of Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta and Devyne Rensch from Ajax. 

The documents for both of those deals will need to be deposited before the transfer window slams shut at 23.00 GMT on Monday night.
