Roma Secure Konstantinos Koulierakis from Wolfsburg for €16.5m Plus Add-ons
Konstantinos Koulierakis has officially finalized his transfer to AS Roma from Wolfsburg. The reported fee for the Greek international is €16.5 million, with additional performance-based bonuses and a 20% sell-on clause included in the deal. Koulierakis successfully completed his medical examinations and has signed a five-year contract with the Giallorossi, who will see him don the number 33 jersey.
According to reports from Il Tempo, the total financial package for the operation amounts to €16.5 million, with an extra €1.5 million in add-ons and the aforementioned 20% stake in any future transfer fee. This signing significantly strengthens Roma's defensive options.
Koulierakis Bolsters Roma's Defense
The 22-year-old defender made his senior debut for Greece in 2022 and has already accumulated 22 caps for his country. He is a product of the PAOK Salonika youth academy and transferred to Wolfsburg in 2024 for an estimated €11.75 million.
Despite interest from clubs like Crystal Palace and Benfica, Roma managed to secure the transfer this evening. Koulierakis is anticipated to serve as a valuable addition to the squad, likely to be an understudy to Mario Hermoso rather than an immediate first-choice starter.
Roma officially welcomed Koulierakis to the club via their social media channels, posting a picture of the player with the Greek flag emoji.
