Official: "Roma" acquires "Sassuolo" sniper G. Defrel (VIDEO)

"Roma" reports that they have acquired forward Gregoire Defrel from "Sassuolo", with the transfer fee potentially rising to 23 million euros.

This news is particularly important in trying to rebuild the trust of both the team's fans and players in the "giallorossi" leadership, as not long ago Mohamed Salah, Leandro Paredes, and Antonio Rudiger left, and Kostas Manolas is also still actively sought after.

The 26-year-old Frenchman becomes the sixth newcomer of this summer.

"The opportunity to represent "Roma" means a lot to me", - Defrel told the official website of the capital's club. "I will be a part of a very strong group, which is one of the best teams in Italy."

"I am happy to be here and I will give my all to the team."

The striker, who signed a contract until 2022, played 29 matches in last season's "Serie A" championship, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists.

The team he represented, "Sassuolo", finished 12th in the country's championship, while "Roma" fought for the "Scudetto" until the end of the season.
