Roma signed Carles Perez from Barcelona on loan with an obligation to buy permanently next summer for around €18 million. The youngster broke through into Barcelona's first team under former coach Ernesto Valverde and could be a huge loss for Barcelona in the long run.

Perez is a pacy right-winger capable of taking on defenders, whip crosses and an ability to provide precise passes for his teammates. He also likes to cut inside from the right channel into the box and has a knack of finding the top corner with his incredible shooting ability.

Given Perez's ability, Roma has potentially landed a bargain for the future. Although only time will tell how much of a success the Spanish youngster would be at the Stadio Olimpico.


Dejan Kulusevski (Atalanta to Juventus) £30 million

Kulusevski is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Europe.

Dejan Kulusevski is a Swedish midfielder known for his guile and ball-winning ability. Coming through the ranks at the renowned Atalanta academy, the player is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Europe.

Juventus forked out £30 million-plus conditional bonuses to sign the Swede from Atalanta and immediately sent him out on loan. Although now at Serie A side Parma, the midfielder is set to join the reigning Italian champions next summer.

Kulusevski is a physical player, and he can also create goalscoring chances from the midfield. The midfielder has everything in his Arsenal but perhaps his greatest weapon is a sudden change of pace that often leaves defenders for dead. He is a versatile player capable of playing anywhere in the midfield. However, it remains to be seen how good his performances will be at Juventus.
