Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Roma reached a club‑to‑club agreement with VfL Wolfsburg by Friday for Koulierakis with fees reported around €15–16.5 million plus up to €3 million in add‑ons and a potential future‑sale share.
- Sources say the 22‑year‑old has agreed personal terms and is expected to travel to Rome for a medical in the coming days.
- Koulierakis is a left‑footed centre‑back who made about 59 Bundesliga appearances for Wolfsburg and has 22 senior caps for Greece, and he is expected to be an understudy to Mario Hermoso rather than an immediate first‑choice starter.
- Roma are processing outbound moves to balance the squad and budget, with Angelino set for a loan to Deportivo La Coruna, Riccardo Pagano sold to Cesena, and a reported near‑€8m offer for Anass Salah‑Eddine to Olympiacos flagged as possible funding.
- Wolfsburg’s drop to the 2. Bundesliga is cited as key pressure pushing the sale and the transfer highlights growing crossover with digital markets because Koulierakis also appears as a Sorare collectible, raising adjacent commercial and regulatory questions.
