After confirming the departure of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Roma 'tightened up' in the transfer market and closed the signing of their new goalkeeper. The player in question is none other than Robin Olsen, one of the main reasons why Sweden reached the round of 16 in the 2018 World Cup.
With great performances for his national team, the 28-year-old goalkeeper arrives in the Italian capital for a fee of 11.5 million euros, after his time at Copenhagen in Denmark. Previously, Olsen had defended the colors of PAOK, Malmo, IFK Klagshamn, Bunkeflo and Limhamn Bunkeflo.
A side note. A key player for Sweden in the World Cup and starting in all five matches played by the Scandinavian team, the new Roma goalkeeper arrives with all the credentials to undertake this new adventure, which may be the most important of his career.
Quantity and quality. Thus, Olsen becomes the twelfth signing for Roma in the next Serie A season 2018/2019, after acquiring the services of Mirante, Fuzáto, Iván Marcano, Davide Santon, William Bianda, Ante Coric, Javier Pastore, Bryan Cristante, Nicolò Zaníolo, Justin Kluivert, and Malcom.
