Strootman, 28, joins the French club for an initial fee of €25 million.

The deal also includes a number of performance-related add-ons, on the part of both the player and the buying club, worth an additional €3m.

Strootman joined the Giallorossi from PSV Eindhoven in July 2013. In total he made 130 appearances for the club, scoring 13 goals.

Last season he made 44 appearances in all competitions - scoring one goal - as he helped Roma finish third in Serie A, and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
