Rudiger arrives for Roma medical

By Football Italia staff

Stuttgart defender Antonio Rudiger has landed in Italy, and will undergo his Roma medical tomorrow.

The 22-year-old is expected to sign on an initial loan basis, with Roma having the option of making the deal permanent for €9m, though it would be mandatory if certain targets are met.

The German international arrived at the city’s Fiumicino airport this morning, declaring “Forza Roma!” to waiting fans before getting into a waiting car.

Rudiger will take his Giallorossi medical tomorrow, and provided there are no last-minute hitches will be part of Rudi Garcia’s squad by the weekend.

The French Coach has declared that he still needs three defenders for the coming season, with Lucas Digne of Paris Saint-Germain set to join Digne in the capital.

The Lupi get the 2015-16 Serie A season underway on Saturday, when they travel to face Verona at Bentegodi.
