Translated from La Gazzetta dello Sport:
A Roma 'Made in the USA' as they secure American Yedlin
Roma have beaten out the competition from Genoa to secure the services of American right-back DeAndre Yedlin, 20 years old. This morning, Rossoblù president Enrico Preziosi gave up the fight, clearing the way for the Giallorossi. Now they land their second U.S. player in recent history, after midfielder Michael Bradley (now with Toronto in MLS).
The blitz from Roma’s sporting director Walter Sabatini turned out to be a decisive one. The Giallorossi have taken the right-back who plays for the Seatttle Sounders and U.S. national team, and who also played a leading role in Brazil. Roma are buying him now, but the deal will not see his arrival in Italy until next season. For the moment he will remain on loan with Seattle.
