AS Roma continues to strengthen its squad and is reportedly close to welcoming Anass Salah-Eddine. According to several sources, including Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been reached with FC Twente for the transfer of the 23-year-old left-back. The final administrative details are being finalized, and the player, attracted by the opportunity to join Serie A, is expected to soon confirm his move to Italy.
Absent during Twente’s last match against Go Ahead Eagles, Salah-Eddine was reportedly rested due to Roma’s concrete interest. The exact amount of the transaction remains unknown, but it is said to be in the seven-figure range. The Dutch club, aware of the player’s value, had also attracted interest from PSV Eindhoven. However, financial demands cooled the Eredivisie club’s interest, leaving Roma in a favorable position to finalize the deal. According to Transfermarkt, the Moroccan defender’s market value is estimated at €5 million, reflecting his potential and attractiveness in the transfer market.
This transfer fits into Roma’s strategy of strengthening their defensive flanks. After recruiting Devyne Rensch from Ajax, Roma appears to be preparing for the departure of Samuel Dahl to Benfica and Nicola Zalewski, who is on loan at Inter with an option to buy. With Salah-Eddine, the Giallorossi are betting on a versatile profile capable of playing both in defense and midfield, a valuable asset for the remainder of the season.
