River Plate president Rodolfo D'Onofrio says Lucas Boyé is joining Roma.
The centre-forward turns 20 next month and is currently on loan to Newell's Old Boys.
D'Onofrio told Clarin: “Boyé will go to Roma in June.
"We'll receive some bonuses based on the number of games he plays with the Giallorossi, plus River will get 50 per cent of any future sale."
