Roma have officially completed a strategic midfield reinforcement by signing Lucas Gourna-Douath from Red Bull Salzburg on the final day of the January transfer window. The 21-year-old French midfielder arrives on a loan deal with an option to purchase, marking an exciting addition to Claudio Ranieri’s squad.
Gourna-Douath’s football journey is a testament to his exceptional potential. Born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France, he began his professional career with Saint-Étienne, breaking into the first team at the remarkably young age of 17. His impressive performances in Ligue 1 caught the attention of top European clubs, leading to a move to Red Bull Salzburg in 2022.
During his time at Salzburg, Gourna-Douath quickly made his mark, helping the team secure the Austrian Bundesliga title in his debut season. The midfielder is known for his dynamic playing style, combining physical prowess with technical skill. Standing at 6’1″, he excels as a box-to-box midfielder with strong ball control, passing, and defensive capabilities.
The young midfielder will don the No. 27 shirt for Roma, bringing with him the promise of youth and significant potential.
