Roma Finalizing Deals for Koulierakis, Angelino, and Pagano Departures
AS Roma is in the final stages of securing the transfer of Konstantinos Koulierakis from Wolfsburg for a fee of €15 million, with an additional €3 million in potential add-ons. Concurrently, Angelino is poised for a move to Deportivo La Coruna, and Riccardo Pagano has been sold to Cesena.
Despite the recent acquisition of Santiago Castro from Bologna, Roma needs to offload players to generate further transfer funds.
Sources, including Fabrizio Romano and Sport Mediaset, report that a €15 million agreement has been reached with Wolfsburg for the defender Koulierakis, along with up to €3 million in performance-based bonuses. The player is eager to complete the transfer and is expected to finalize personal terms and undergo a medical by the week's end.
Koulierakis In, Angelino and Pagano Out
Among the players exiting the club is Angelino, whose playing time was significantly limited last season due to post-bronchitis complications. According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, a deal has been finalized with Deportivo La Coruna for a loan move, which includes an option to buy for €2 million at the conclusion of the season.
In other transfer news, the club officially announced the sale of 21-year-old academy product Riccardo Pagano to Serie B side Cesena. Pagano has previously had loan spells at Catanzaro and Bari in recent seasons.
