OFFICIAL: Nemanja Matic signs a one-year deal with Roma

Nemanja Matic joins Roma on a one-year deal.

The Serbian made his move to Serie A and reunites with former Man United and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

The 33-year-old left United on a free transfer and made 32 appearances last season.

He will wear the number 21 shirt for the Europa Conference League winners.

“I am pleased and honoured to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates,” Matic said in a statement.

“Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.”

Club general manager Tiago Pinto said: “Nemanja brings with him to Roma not just a lot of quality on the pitch, but the vast experience he has gained from so many seasons in the Premier League and a focus and mentality that has consistently set him apart throughout his career.”

“The enthusiasm he showed at the prospect of joining our project was hugely encouraging.”
