Roma have announced the signing of Ivan Marcano from Porto.
The centre-back joined the Serie A side on a free transfer after completing a medical on Thursday.
Marcano, 30, has signed a three-year contract that includes the option of a fourth year, which will be triggered automatically depending on certain sporting objectives.
“I am very happy to be here, because Roma is a great club that is moving in the right direction, following a clear sporting project,” Marcano told the club’s website.
“I also believe that the footballing philosophy of the team will fit well with my strengths and characteristics.”
