Ajax defender Devyne Rensch has landed in Italy and is expected to undergo a medical in the Italian capital ahead of a January transfer to Claudio Ranieri’s Roma.

A final agreement between the two clubs was reached on Tuesday evening, and now only a few formalities remain before the Netherlands international is unveiled as a new Giallorossi player.

According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, the 22-year-old will move to the Stadio Olimpico for a fee of €5m with an extra €1m in performance related bonuses.

Rensch is expected to sign a four-and-a-half year contract until the summer of 2029 with a salary of €1.2m per season.
