After Juventus, Roma has basically finished with its summer transfer dealings, at least as far as arrivals are concerned. There could be some minor departures in the next 24 hours until the summer market closes, since the club from Rome, wants to additionally trim the squad. Their last arrival this summer is midfielder Mady Camara who came on loan from Olympiakos worth 1.5 million euros and Roma will have the option to buy him for 11.5 million. Camara arrived as an emergency replacement for one of the biggest reinforcements – Georginio Wijnaldum. The Dutchman suffered a serious injury immediately after his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain and will be absent from the field for several months, so Roma was forced to look for a replacement. Several names were in circulation and the choice fell on the midfielder who came to Olympiakos four years ago from Ajaccio as a free agent.Getting his first Roma shirt … almost 10 years before he joined the club! 🤯🎙️ New signing @MCamarajr10 explains the story…#ASRoma pic.twitter.com/ZkH52sInhm— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) August 31, 2022 Camara was recommended to Mourinho by fellow countryman and until recently Olympiakos coach Pedro Martins. The negotiations lasted for ten days, the Greeks insisted on a mandatory buyout of the contract, but Roma forced out their own idea. The idols of midfielders from Guinea are Claude Makelele and Ngolo Kante, so that speaks volumes about the profile of the player.“I am really pleased to be here, joining Roma is a big opportunity for me. It is going to be a busy season, in both the league and the cups, but I am here to make my contribution and help the side in every competition that we play in. It was magnificent to experience the Olimpico atmosphere and see all the fans; I cannot wait to play in front of them” said Camara for the official website.Mou’s cousin cooks a perfect partnership: Abraham feeds Dybala for his first Roma goalsIn addition to Kamara’s arrival, Roma also made two departures official today. Camara’s countryman from Guinea, Amadou Diawara, left the club. He moved to Anderlecht in a transfer worth 3 million euros with bonuses included, and Roma will also get 50% from the next transfer. He signed for the Belgians for three years. Diawara came to Roma three years ago as part of the transfer of Kostas Manolas to Napoli. Injuries marked his career in Roma and he did not leave a particularly good impression. Roma also sold left back Riccardo Calafiori to Basel for 1.5 million euros plus bonuses plus 40 percent of the next sale. The Italian also signed for three years. This summer, Roma managed to get rid of a bunch of unnecessary players and earn over 50 million euros from them. The Roman club spent a lot of money on the budget, and brought in proven reinforcements. Compensation of 7 million euros was only paid for Lille’s defender Zeki Celik, while Nemanja Matic, Paulo Dybala, Andrea Belotti and Mile Svilar arrived as free agents.##NAJAVA_MECA_6606633##
