“AS Roma” is in an uncomfortable position.

Due to a violation of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, UEFA has ordered the Rome club to pay up to 1.5 million euros through this window, so original solutions had to be sought.

“AS Roma” has leased talented 18-year-old center-back Dean Huijsen from “Juventus”.

This Dutchman has played only one match for “Juventus” throughout his career - 12 minutes in the “Serie A” against “AC Milan” (1-0).

D. Huijsen will be an important figure in the defensive rotation of “AS Roma”. The lease is for 6 months without a buyout option.

💬 “It was not difficult for me to choose Roma. I'm joining a great club. I hope that we can achieve our objectives together."
