The Latest AS Roma News
Roma have taken the first primitive steps towards meeting their financial targets by selling Ezequiel Ponce to Spartak Moscow.
After failing to qualify for the Champions League, Roma need to raise roughly €45m before the end of the month, and the first player exit of the summer has today been confirmed. Russian side Spartak announced on their website that striker Ponce, who never made a senior appearance for Roma, has signed on a "long-term agreement" with the club. It is believed that Roma have received €8m for Ponce, but his former club Newell’s Old Boys are entitled to a sell-on clause, that means Roma keep €4.8m. Ponce joined Roma in 2015 from Newell's Old Boys in his native Argentina, where he had become the youngest ever player to score in the division. However, the youngster had to settle for a place in the Primavera squad, and an injury scuppered his chances of any first team action. He had spent the past three seasons on loan, at Granada, Lille and AEK Athens respectively. It was at the latter where he established himself most, scoring 21 goals in 43 appearances. However, after the Greek side decided not to exercise their option to buy the player, Spartak have swooped, giving the 22-year-old a new permanent home.
