AS Roma have signed Genoa midfielder Iago Falque.

The Spanish midfielder will arrive on an initial €1m loan deal, though this is in essence just a way of spreading payment, as a €7m redemption will come into effect once he plays a competitive match.

“AS Roma announces that the club have signed a loan agreement with Genoa FC for the services of Iago Falqué Silva until June 30, 2016 for a fee of €1 million," the Giallorossi announced on their official website.

“The agreement also includes a commitment to buy the player permanently for a further fee of €7 million once he makes at least one competitive appearance for the club.

“Finally, the agreement also includes a performance-related bonus of a maximum of €1 million should the player reach certain targets. Iago Falqué has signed a contract until June 30, 2020."
