Roma Back Out of Jayden Oosterwolde Transfer Following Medical Issues
Roma has chosen not to proceed with the signing of Jayden Oosterwolde after he failed a medical examination, according to reports from Sky Sport Italia. As a result, the player will return to Fenerbahce, expected to be sidelined for a minimum of two months.
Last week, both clubs reached an agreement for a loan deal worth €1 million, with a potential option to buy set at €15 million plus additional add-ons at the end of the season. This buy option would have become compulsory if specific conditions were met. However, concerns arose regarding Oosterwolde’s fitness, as he has not played since early August due to a thigh injury.
Oosterwolde Injury Record Raises Alarm for Roma
Oosterwolde’s injury concerns were confirmed during his medical tests this week, which indicated he could remain unavailable until December or even January. Earlier reports suggested that Roma was willing to acquire the Dutch player on a free loan despite his medical issues, but it appears the negotiations with Fenerbahce ultimately collapsed.
Sky Sport Italia further stated that the entire transfer has been called off, prompting the 25-year-old to return to Istanbul. Turkish transfer expert Yagiz Sabuncuoglu noted that Oosterwolde personally opted to withdraw from the move, declining the new terms and the temporary nature of the loan deal.
