Kevin Strootman leaves Roma for Marseille

Marseille announce that they have completed the signing of Netherlands international Kevin Strootman from Roma.

Marseille have confirmed that they have completed the signing of Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman.

The 28-year-old has spent the last five seasons with Roma, and recently penned a new five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico.

However, it emerged in recent days that Marseille were close to sealing a deal for the Netherlands international, and the French giants have now finalised the transfer.

Marseille have decided to hand Strootman terms which will last until 2023, with the Ligue 1 outfit paying Roma a fee of €25m (£22.73m).

Roma sporting director Monchi has claimed that Strootman has not been forced out of the club, while the player has said that it was 'time for a new challenge'.
