The Serie A transfer window closed on Friday, August 30, but Saudi sides can sign new players until Monday, September 2.

Roma have also secured a replacement for Smalling, signing ex-Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso.

The Spaniard is available on a free transfer, so he can join Roma after the end of the summer transfer window.

Daniele De Rossi’s Roma visit Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in Turin tonight. DDR will switch to a three-man defence with Gianluca Mancini, Evan N’dicka and Angelino starting at the back.

Smalling joined Roma from Manchester United in 2019, making 155 appearances with the Giallorossi.
