The Latest AS Roma News
The full back positions have been an area of concern for Roma over recent seasons, but Monchi has already been hard at work to improve them this summer. Last month, he added Feyenoord's Rick Karsdorp on the right, and now it has been announced that Aleksandar Kolarov has signed from Manchester City for the left side.
The Serbian international has spent the past seven years in the Premier League with Manchester City, winning the Premier League with them twice. He also won the FA Cup once, League Cup twice and Community Shield once. He is clearly a player who knows how to win a trophy. At 31 years of age he comes with the experience that Roma need, which will perfectly supplement Emerson Palmieri once he returns from the sidelines. However, unlike 30+ full backs of recent years such as Maicon and Ashley Cole, his best years are not behind him, and he still has a lot to contribute at the top level. Defensively, he is competent, which is an upgrade on previous full backs to represent the club recently. He is also effective going forward, possessing great crossing ability and decent goal output for a player of his position. His Champions League experience will be vital for Roma this season. He has signed a three-year contract after his €5 million move from the Premier League. He said he was "extremely happy" to have joined the club. Benvenuto, Aleksandar.
