In his last season at Valencia he recorded 2 assists and 1 goal, helping the team stay in the European‑qualification zone.
How did the transfer happen?
The move was completed during the winter transfer window, with AS Roma paying an undisclosed fee to Liverpool. The contract runs until June 30 2027, includes a buy‑back clause exercisable in 2025 and a one‑year renewal option. Key details of the deal are shown below:

Impact for AS Roma
Angeliño adds depth to a defence already led by Gianluca Commesso and Leonardo Spinazzola. Coach José Mourinho has indicated plans to use the new signing’s versatility, especially against teams that press high. A full‑back with international experience could boost the squad’s transition game, encouraging quick play down the flanks.
What are the next steps?
The defender will join mid‑week training sessions, aiming to debut in the upcoming Coppa Italia match against Napoli. The challenge will be to see how he fits into Mourinho’s system and whether he can earn a starting spot. Roma supporters are eager for his first chapter in the capital, hoping for a season filled with achievements.
