It's derby-day in Rome, but the January market continues to go on in the background. For Fonseca, he will soon be able to hug the offensive winger that he's been waiting for after Zaniolo went down with a season-ending injury. The club is finalizing a deal for Carlos Perez, class of '98 winger from Barcelona who can play on both the right and left sides.
The operation between the two clubs will close with the formula of a loan with the obligation to buy with rather easy conditions. The total wages of the deal will be between 12-13 million euro. The agreement was found in the past few hours and only the 'okay' from the player was missing.
The parties have come to an agreement on the wages and Roma now awaits the player's arrival. Perez has appeared 12 times this season, scoring twice and contributing three assists.
In the meantime, Ibanez has arrived in the capital. The Brazilian defender arrives on loan from Atalanta for 18 months and 1 million euros, with another 8 million to purchase and 2 million in bonus. He will be in the stands for the derby and will undergo medical visits tomorrow.
