Renato Sanches is excited to have joined Roma.

The Portugal midfielder has arrived on a season-long loan with the option to buy.

“I'm so happy to have joined this huge club," said the 25-year-old.

“The Roma project really won me over and I feel that playing here is the right choice for me. It's so important for any player to feel the support of the fans. For me on my first day, the impact that I felt helped me understand how much these supporters love the team and that can only drive me forward to give my all to achieve success here."

Roma director Tiago Pinto also said: “Renato Sanches is a player that we've been following for a long time.

“Despite that, he's still a young player and he's developed the habit of achieving success in every competition, both at club and international level. Renato has the technical and physical qualities that should see him slot seamlessly into our midfield, making it even more competitive."
