Mario Hermoso Joins Roma as a Free Agent

Mario Hermoso, the Spanish center-back, has officially signed with AS Roma. The 29-year-old joins the Italian club as a free agent after the conclusion of his contract with Atlético Madrid. Hermoso has agreed to a three-year deal, marking a strategic acquisition for Roma as they aim to bolster their defense in Serie A and compete effectively in European competitions.

With five seasons and 174 appearances for Atlético Madrid under his belt, Hermoso brings a wealth of experience and defensive solidity to the team led by Daniele De Rossi. Reports suggest that his annual salary at Roma will be around 4 million euros, plus potential bonuses.

This signing caps off a busy transfer window for Roma, during which they spent over 100 million euros to strengthen their squad with players like Dovbyk, Soulé, Le Fée, Dahl, Abdulhamid, and Manu Koné. Hermoso's addition underscores the club's commitment to enhancing their squad depth and competing at the highest levels across all fronts.
