AS Roma have signed Argentinian defender Nicolás Burdisso on loan for the season from FC Internazionale Milano.
Four titles
The 28-year-old centre-back joined Inter in 2004 from CA Boca Juniors and, despite never being a first-choice for the Nerazzurri, played 94 games in five Serie A seasons, winning the Scudetto four times. Roma will start the Serie A campaign on Sunday at fellow UEFA Europa League contenders Genoa CFC, the Giallorossi having earned a 3-3 draw at MFK Košice in the first leg of their play-off on Thursday.
