Roma’s new signing Rodrigo Taddei has given his first statement since joining the Giallorossi on a free transfer.
“I am convinced that with the right humility I can help a squad that is already competitive,” said the former Siena midfielder. “I thank the Sensi family for concluding the deal.”
Taddei had been linked with the club since last summer, but Siena refused to release him and kept him on the sidelines for six months as punishment.
His contract expires this month and he has penned a five-year deal with Roma that is worth £1.17m for the first season and £1.5m from the second onwards.
“I can say that joining this side is a dream come true, one that I have had within me for many years,” added Taddei.
“Roma are a club with a strong following in Brazil for its history and all the wonderful Selecao stars who wore its jersey.”
25-year-old midfielder Taddei joined Siena from Palmeiras in 2002 and has scored 14 goals in 74 League appearances between Serie A and B.
