Roma permanently sign Rudiger

Roma have excercised their option to complete the permanent signing of Antonio Rudiger after the full-back impressed during his loan spell at the club last season.

The Serie A side have paid Stuttgart €9 million, and offered the player a four-year contract to keep him at the Italian capital. 

The defender, who will represent Germany this summer at Euro 2016 has been linked with a move to Chelsea after his impressive performances this past season. 

The club made the announcement on their Twitter page:
