"Roma" officially announced late on Wednesday evening that they acquired talented Juan Iturbe from the "Hellas Verona" club for 22 million euros. There were rumors that the 21-year-old forward would join Turin's "Juventus," but the Serie A vice champions persuaded the Argentine to play in Rome and sign a five-year contract. It is also reported that the young footballer will earn 2.5 million euros per year in the Italian capital. Iturbe's contract expires in 2019. Last season, Iturbe scored eight goals for "Hellas Verona" in the Serie A. The forward began his career at "Cerro Porteno" club, and later also played for "Porto" and "River Plate."
