Juan Iturbe completes transfer to Roma, signs 5-year contract

Argentinian winger Juan Iturbe was in Rome on Wednesday to complete his transfer from Hellas Verona to Roma and sign a 5-year deal with his new club.

Iturbe, 21, scored eight goals and four assists in 33 appearances last season. Once dubbed "the new Messi" by his countrymen, Iturbe recorded three goals and one assist in his final five caps at Hellas Verona, showing some of the potential his nickname suggests.
