Roma have announced that they have completed the signing of midfielder Jonatan Lucca from Internacional.
The 18-year-old Brazilian has signed a five-year contract with Roma after the two clubs agreed on a 700,000-euro deal.
Lucca, who has already joined up with the rest of the Roma squad at the club’s pre-season training camp in Switzerland, caught the eye of several European sides after impressing for Internacional’s youth team.
He moves to the Stadio Olimpico just days after his new team also completed the signing of another Brazilian, Corinthians defender Leandro Castan.
Roma finished in seventh position in Serie A last season, which saw the club replace Luis Enrique with Zdenek Zeman at the end of the campaign.
