Medical check snag delays Oosterwolde's Roma transfer, farewell words in focus
Doubts arising during the medical examinations of Jayden Oosterwolde, whose transfer from Fenerbahçe to Roma has been on the agenda, have delayed the final decision, while the player made emotional statements about his departure from Istanbul.
An unexpected development has occurred in the transfer of Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde, who currently plays for Fenerbahçe, to Serie A club Roma. According to a report by Italian outlet Repubblica, Roma decided to conduct additional tests regarding the player's physical condition following his medical examination.
The Italian club's main concern centers on the muscular endurance of Oosterwolde, who has not yet fully recovered from an injury sustained in recent weeks. As a reminder, the 25-year-old footballer was injured in the 30th minute of Fenerbahçe's Champions League 3rd qualifying round match against Sturm Graz and left the pitch on a stretcher. Roma's management is expected to announce their final decision on the transfer shortly.
Meanwhile, at this stage of the process, Oosterwolde shared his feelings about leaving Fenerbahçe in statements made to A Spor. Praising the affection shown to him by the fans, the player stated that he was satisfied with his time in Istanbul but that the club had decided to part ways.
Emphasizing that he wanted to stay at Fenerbahçe for one more year but decided to take advantage of the opportunity presented to him, Oosterwolde said he hopes the yellow-and-navy blue team will advance in the Champions League by eliminating Lyon and that he might face them again in the tournament. Thanking the fans, the Dutch footballer expressed his wish to meet again in the future.
