Official: Rasmus Kristensen joins Roma on loan from Leeds United

Roma have completed the temporary signing of Danish defender Rasmus Kristensen.

The club announced it via the following official statement posted on their website:


“AS Roma is delighted to announce the signing of Rasmus Kristensen on a loan deal from Leeds United until 30 June 2024.

“I’m proud to be part of this great club – you can feel the history as soon as you walk in here,” Kristensen commented.

“Roma’s European success in recent years made me want to play for this club even more. I can’t wait to have my every day life here.”

The Danish right-back, 26, made his professional debut for Midtjylland, then moved to Ajax for a season. In 2018 he joined Salzburg and spent three years in Austria, before signing for Leeds United last summer.

“Rasmus is a player we’ve been tracking for a long time, even before he joined Leeds, and now we finally have the chance to bring him to Rome,” said Tiago Pinto, AS Roma General Manager, Football.

 

“He has accumulated a great deal of experience despite his young age. We’re convinced that he will boost our defensive options and make our squad even stronger.”
