Roma have officially announced the signing of Victor Nelsson from Galatasaray, bolstering their defensive options for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season. The 26-year-old Danish centre-back joins the Giallorossi on a loan deal with an option to buy, marking an exciting addition to Claudio Ranieri’s squad.
In a statement released by the club, Roma expressed their delight at securing Nelsson’s services:
“AS Roma are pleased to announce the signing of Victor Nelsson from Galatasaray. The deal has been completed as a loan with an option to buy.”
Nelsson’s journey to the Italian capital has been one of steady progression and impressive performances. Born in Denmark in 1998, the defender first made a name for himself in his homeland, showcasing his talents with Nordsjaelland before moving to Copenhagen. His breakthrough came in 2021 when he joined Galatasaray, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in the Turkish giants’ backline.
During his time in Istanbul, Nelsson’s leadership qualities shone through as he amassed over 100 competitive appearances for Galatasaray across four seasons. His consistent performances and defensive prowess caught the eye of Roma’s scouting network, leading to this deadline day move.
