AS Roma have completed the signing of Justin Kluivert from Ajax for an initial fee of €17.25 million, Kluivert signed a five-year contract
“I’m feeling great,” Kluivert said on Roma’s website. “I’m at an unbelievable club and I can’t wait to start. I think Roma is a great club for me — I think they can build me into a bigger, stronger player and I can do some nice things here.”
Kluivert scored ten goals in 30 Eredivisie appearances for Ajax last season, winning many admirers, which made Roma’s sporting director Monchi all the happier to have wrapped up his signing.
“I think that Justin is already one of the most exciting young players in European football,” Monchi said. “Because of this it was not easy to bring him to Roma ahead of a number of other clubs. But Justin believes Roma is the perfect club for him to continue his development and realise his enormous potential.”
