Official: Mile Svilar joins AS Roma

The young guardian Mile Svilar, 22, is the second incoming transfer from AS Roma, which filed the goalkeeper’s contract with the federation on Friday. Arrived in the Italian capital in the morning, the Belgian player had already successfully passed the medical tests.

Svilar thus abandons Benfica, which he joined five years ago after leaving Anderlecht, his training club, through the back door. During his time in Lisbon, he only made six league appearances with the A team and only received playing time with the B team. At AS Roma, he will be Rui’s replacement Patricio and will wear the number 99.
