| Chivu and Parma's Mutu are the future of
Romanian football | Roma said in a statement that Chivu had agreed a deal which would see him
paid 16.6 million euro over the five seasons.
The Italian club said they would pay the 18 million euro transfer fee, a
record sale for Ajax, in three annual instalments.
Chivu underwent a medical at Roma's training ground and was due to be
presented to the press later on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old is Roma's first major close-season signing and is seen by
coach Fabio Capello as the long-term partner to Argentine Walter Samuel in the
centre of the defence.
