Roma

AS Roma formalize the transfer Nemanja Matic. The Serbian midfielder becomes the first signing Giallorossi this summer.

“AS Roma is proud to confirm Nemanja Matic is our first signing of the summer,” wrote Roma on social media, Tuesday (14/6/2022).

Matic is contracted to Roma for one season, until June 2023. He is given the number 21 jersey, the same as at his previous club.

Matic is a free transfer this summer. The 33-year-old midfielder did not extend his contract at Manchester United.

Nemanja Matic, who also played for Benfica and Chelsea, has finally reunited with coach Jose Mourinho. AS Roma will be the third opportunity for both of them to work together, after previously happening at Chelsea and MU.

“I am happy and honored to be joining this club. I can’t wait to start the season with my team-mates,” said Nemanja Matic, on AS Roma’s official website.

“Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and the coach Jose Mourinho, whom everyone knows, made this decision very easy to make.” I hope that our cooperation together can lead to great things,” said Matic.

The arrival of Matic was then praised by the General Manager of Rome, Tiago Pinto. He thinks Matic will add quality to the squad for the Capital Wolves.

“Matic to Roma brings not only quality, but also the experience he has gained over the years in the Premier League, as well as the focus and mental consistency he has shown throughout his career,” said Pinto.

“The enthusiasm he has shown in the prospect of joining us has been great, and I believe it will be a great start for all of us,” said Pinto.
