Angelino arrives at Roma on loan from RB Leipzig with an option to buy

The 27-year-old joins the Giallorossi after spending the first part of the campaign on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray, for whom he scored one goal and added in 19 appearances.

Angelino has five of Galatasaray’s six organizational matches in the Champions League, but has only played eight times in the Turkish top flight, with his last appearance coming in late October.

As a result, Leipzig called Angelino from Turkey before sending him to Serie A, and Roma would like to pay €5 million (£4. 3 million) to sign Angelino permanently this summer.

“When I heard the word Rome, I didn’t hesitate. Today I am proud to be part of a wonderful club with a history and a team full of champions,” Angelino told Roma’s website. “I’m excited to meet the coach and my new teammates and get drawn to them. “

General manager Tiago Pinto added: “With Angelino we welcome a completely mature player. We believe that his technical skills, combined with his great experience in the most competitive European leagues, can fit in and decorate the future of our team. “

Angelino has made a century of appearances for Leipzig since signing an initial loan deal in 2020, registering 12 goals and 29 assists, falling down the pecking order a few years ago and missing the 2022-23 season on loan with Hoffenheim.

Prior to his move to the Bundesliga, Angelino, whose contract with Leipzig expires in 2025, was registered at Manchester City for 8 years, winning two EFL Cups, but only played 15 times for the reigning European champions.
