Roma have announced they have exercised the right to sign the Antonio Rudiger on a permanent deal from Stuttgart.
Rudiger, 23, spent the campaign on loan from the Bundesliga outfit and was a mainstay alongside Kostas Manolas at the heart of their defence.
The Germany international’s performances convinced Roma to activate the €9m (£6.8m) clause in the loan agreement and he has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Giallorossi.
Of Roma players to have made at least five starts in Serie A this season only Daniele De Rossi (88.9%) finished the campaign with a better pass success rate than Rudiger (86.8%).
