The forward’s international career has also been very astonishing. He won recently won the Finalissima with a victory over Italy at Wembley Stadium.
The Argentine has already joined his teammates at the club and will be training at Giallorossi’s training camp in Portugal.
“Paulo’s decision to join our project is a testament to the club’s credibility and a sign of the hard work that, all together, we are putting in to take Roma forward,” Tiago Pinto, the club’s General Manager added.
“Paulo is a world-renowned player who has won major trophies and gained global acclaim; he will bring that class with him to Roma and I am sure that, with him in the squad, we will be even stronger and more competitive,” he continued. (ANI)
