Feyenoord will face Angeliño in the Europa League

The recent transfer saga of Angeliño (27) has taken several twists and turns, ultimately leading him to AS Roma. Having initially been on loan to Galatasaray from RB Leipzig this season, the loan agreement with Galatasaray was abruptly terminated to facilitate his move to the Italian capital.

The Spanish left-back was on the verge of triggering a mandatory purchase option at Galatasaray, requiring just one more appearance. However, Galatasaray balked at the six million euro price tag, leading to his premature return to Leipzig.

On Monday morning, Angeliño arrived at the private clinic Villa Stuart for his medical examination, marking the official beginning of his loan spell with Roma. This half-year loan from Leipzig comes with a clause that allows Roma the option to purchase him for five million euros next summer, with the potential for an additional one million euros in bonuses.

The timing of Angeliño's arrival is noteworthy, given that Roma is set to face Feyenoord in the round of 32 of the Europa League in just two weeks. His addition to the squad could provide valuable depth and options for the team in this competition.

Angeliño's footballing journey has been marked by versatility and adaptability. Starting in the youth academy of Manchester City, he went on several loan spells, including one at NAC Breda, before making a permanent move to PSV. During his time at PSV, he left a lasting impression with an impressive nine assists in a single Eredivisie season, prompting Manchester City to recall him. His subsequent transfer to Leipzig saw him continue his career trajectory positively.

However, in recent times, Angeliño had found himself on the periphery at Leipzig, leading to his third loan spell, this time with AS Roma. The move to Serie A represents a fresh opportunity for the Spanish defender to showcase his talent and contribute to the success of his new club.

As Angeliño embarks on this new chapter of his career with Roma, football fans will be eager to see how he adapts to Italian football and contributes to the team's ambitions, especially in European competitions like the Europa League.
