Roma to sign 'new Roberto Carlos'?

By Football Italia staff

Roma have completed the signing of Coritiba defender Abner, according to reports in the Italian Press.

The 17-year-old left-back, who has been called ‘the new Roberto Carlos’, has agreed to join the capital club, Radio Mana Mana Sport believe.

The youngster has recently suffered a season-ending cruciate ligament injury, but that has not been enough to put off Rudi Garcia’s men, who are seemingly willing to take a gamble on Abner.

Neither club however, have yet to release a statement confirming the transfer.
