Leon Bailey has joined Roma on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, with the Italian club holding the option to make the move permanent.
The 28-year-old winger moved to Villa from Bayer Leverkusen in 2021 for £25 million and has since played 144 times, scoring 22 goals.
Bailey’s best season came in 2023/24, when he hit 14 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions. However, his form dipped last year, managing just two goals in 38 games.
Despite signing a new contract with Villa in February 2024, keeping him tied to the club until 2027, Bailey will now look for a fresh start in Serie A.
