Leon Bailey’s Italian dream is finally taking shape. The Jamaican winger has given the green light to a switch from Aston Villa to AS Roma, with both clubs reaching a verbal agreement on the deal.

The agreement includes a loan fee of €2–3 million, with an option to buy set at €22 million. Bailey, who had made Roma his top priority, pushed for the move and now sees his wish close to reality. Medical authorization is the next step before the official unveiling in the Eternal City.

Roma fans can now look forward to a new attacking spark on the flanks, as Bailey prepares to write his next chapter in Serie A.
