Federico Fazio has penned a new deal with Roma.

The defender has inked terms to 2020.

"From the first day I felt really good here, with the staff, the team, the city and everyone. My family and I are very happy here," he told the official club website.

“It's good news for me to remain here until at least 2020, then who knows."

Roma football chief Monchi added: “Personally, I am very happy, because I always considered Federico a centre-back of enormous value.

“With Fazio's renewal, we are confirming one of the pillars of the squad."
