Agent: ‘Mario Rui a Roma player’

By Football Italia staff

Mario Rui’s agent confirms the left-back is joining Roma on loan with an obligation to buy.

The Empoli defender has been linked with the Giallorossi for some time, but the move has not yet been made official.

While neither club has officially announced the transfer, the 25-year-old’s representative makes it clear that the deal is done.

“When you want the team, the deal is done quickly, ditto when the team wants the player,” Mario Giuffredi told ForzaRoma.

“So it was done quickly enough. Anyone who doesn’t want to come to Roma is a fool. We had a couple of offers abroad in Spain and Germany, and also three other important offers in Italy.

“He’s coming on loan with a compulsory redemption, it’s the same as an outright transfer.”
