Out with one striker, and in with another.

Roma, who sold Mattia Destro to AC Milan on Friday, moved quickly to replace him less than 24 hours later, as CSKA Moscow announced Saturday that Ivorian forward Seydou Doumbia is on his way to the Italian capital.

Roma will pay the Russian club €14.4 million for the striker, along with an additional  €1.5 million in bonuses.

Doumbia, 27, penned a contract with his new club that runs through June 2019.
