Roma Coach Paulo Fonseca can “already see signs of what we want to do as a team” after the 12-0 victory over Pro Calcio Tor Sapienza.

The Giallorossi’s first friendly outing of the summer saw the 4-2-3-1 formation used with attack-minded full-backs, Davide Santon in central defence and goalkeeper Pau Lopez acting as a sweeper-keeper.

Diego Perotti converted a penalty before Schick scored with a delightful back-heel flick on Rick Karsdorp’s assist.

Leonardo Spinazzola, Spinozzi and Schick again rounded out the scoreline.

Fenerbahce are the favourites to sign Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen, as the Giallorossi want at least €6m for the Swede.

His debut Serie A season was disappointing and saw him drop behind veteran Antonio Mirante in the final few months.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are precious few genuine offers on the table for Olsen.

The only real interest has been shown by Fenerbahce and a firm bid is expected over the next few days.

Pau Lopez had offers from Barcelona and the Premier League, assured his agent, but the goalkeeper took a pay cut to push through the Roma move.

He completed the transfer this week from Real Betis for €23.5m plus bonuses and half of Antonio Sanabria’s contract.

“Barcelona called me, and so did three Premier League clubs who wanted to focus on him, but he chose Roma,” agent Albert Botines told the Corriere dello Sport.

Pau Lopez has vowed to ‘give everything’ for Roma and is ‘ready’ for the challenge that awaits him. 

Lopez completed his €23.5m transfer from Real Betis on Wednesday, and the goalkeeper could hardly contain his excitement at turning Giallorosso.

“Joining Roma is another step up for me,” the 24-year-old told Roma TV. 

Pau Lopez claims it is “basically impossible to say no to a club like Roma and this is a big step forward in my career” after completing the transfer from Real Betis.

The goalkeeper signed on until June 2024 for an official fee of €23.5m, but there will also be the remaining 50 per cent of Antonio Sanabria’s contract and some bonuses, taking the total cost to around €28m.

Roma have officially purchased goalkeeper Pau Lopez from Real Betis for €23.5m plus bonuses, taking the total figure closer to €28m.

“Real Betis Balompié and AS Roma have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Pau López to the club from Italy,” read a statement.

“The Club effusively thanks Pau López for his services and wishes him all the best in the future.”

A statement from Roma noted the cost of the operation was €23.5m and he signed a contract to June 2024.

Real Betis goalkeeper Pau Lopez has landed in Rome to complete his €30m transfer to the Giallorossi.

Lopez touched down at Rome Fiumicino airport at around 10:40 BST, having taken a flight from Barcelona.

“I’m happy to be here,” he told reporters upon his arrival in the Italian capital.

The 24-year-old will now undergo a medical, before signing his contract and being confirmed as a Roma player.

He will become the Lupi’s new No 1, replacing Robin Olsen, with the club agreeing a deal worth €30m.

Real Betis goalkeeper Pau Lopez is expected to land in Italy tomorrow for his Roma medical after agreeing a deal worth at least €28m.

Multiple sources maintain a deal was struck today and the shot-stopper has booked his flight, landing at Fiumicino Airport at 11.30am local time on Monday.

He’ll then be driven to the Villa Stuart clinic for a medical before signing the five-year contract at the Trigoria ground.

Reports in Spain suggest Roma have agreed terms with Real Betis for goalkeeper Pau Lopez at a total cost of over €30m.

The Giallorossi identified him as the ideal replacement for Robin Olsen, who was bitterly disappointing last season.

Negotiations had stalled over the last couple of days and he was seen in pre-season training with the Spaniards.

According to the Diario de Sevilla newspaper, the two clubs have now worked out a deal that will end up being worth over €30m rather than the original €28m.
