- Roma confirm a season-long loan for Donyell Malen from Aston Villa.
- Reports put the loan fee at €2 million with a €25 million purchase option that could become an obligation under conditions.
- The deal is Roma's second attacking addition of the window after the €22 million signing of Robinio Vaz from Marseille.
- Malen struggled for starts at Villa, logging 1,106 minutes across 29 games with seven goals and two assists, and seeks regular minutes for his World Cup prospects.
- He takes shirt No. 14 at Roma, and Aston Villa's farewell message suggested the club does not expect a return.
