AS Roma has officially triggered the buy option clause for the Spanish footballer Angeliño, securing his services from RB Leipzig for a transfer fee of €5.2 million. The left-back, who initially joined Roma on a loan deal earlier this year, will now stay at the club under a permanent contract.
Contract Details and Competition for Signature
Under the terms of his new agreement, Angeliño will earn a net salary of €2 million annually, plus potential add-ons based on performance. Despite interest from one French and one English club, the defender has committed his future to Roma, influenced by the desire of the club’s manager, Daniele De Rossi, to retain him.
Background on Angeliño’s Move to Roma
Angeliño’s journey to AS Roma began with a loan spell that started in January 2024, as previously reported. This move included an option to buy, which Roma has now exercised following a successful integration of the player into their squad. His performance evidently satisfied the club’s management and coaching staff, leading to a permanent transfer.
Angeliño’s decision to continue with Roma, despite other clubs showing interest, highlights his commitment to De Rossi’s project and the club’s future ambitions.
