AS Roma is close to completing the signing of Oosterwolde, Fenerbahce defender. The player, born in 2001, was already noticed by Gasp last January, but at the time the club had other priorities. Now, after seven months, his name is back in the spotlight.
Who is Oosterwolde?
Oosterwolde is a Dutch defender who has played for Zac Zwolle, Twente, and Fortuna Sittard. He has also played for Parma in Serie B, where he had the opportunity to play with a certain Buffon.
Why is he important for AS Roma?
The arrival of Oosterwolde could be an important reinforcement for the team, which is looking to improve its position in the standings. AS Roma is currently third in Serie A with 73 points, 14 points behind leaders Inter. The team also has a goal difference of +28, with 59 goals scored and 31 conceded.
What happens now?
The club is waiting to close the agreement with Fenerbahce for the loan of Oosterwolde, which should be officialized today. The player will be a good addition to the team, which is looking to strengthen itself for the next season. The team is also looking for a right-footed forward who plays on the left, after trying to sign Gittens, but the first offer from the Giallorossi (3 million euros for the loan and 40 million euros for the buyout) was rejected by Chelsea. AS Roma recently won against Hellas Verona with a score of 2-0 on May 24, 2026, and is on a 5-game winning run, with a recent form of WWWWW.
