If that is triggered, then he can put pen to paper on a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
It is likely that the obligation will depend on the number of games he manages to play, seeing as Oosterwolde is currently out of action due to a muscular tear.
He’s had some bad luck with injuries since a lengthy lay-off for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in October 2024.
The 25-year-old came through the FC Twente youth academy, and already had a brief spell at Parma from January 2022 until his €6m sale to Fenerbahce in January 2023.

Oosterwolde, who has impressed in Turkish football, would provide Roma with a new option at left-back.

Chance analysis
Roma targeting Jayden Oosterwolde signals their intent to reinforce the left side of defence with a player who has proven himself in a top European league. At €20m, this represents a significant but not extravagant investment for a 23-year-old full-back with his best years ahead. The deal would also represent a notable sale for Fenerbahce, who signed Oosterwolde from Parma and have seen his market value rise substantially.
Roma would gain a young, proven left-back option while Fenerbahce would lose a key defensive asset and receive a significant transfer fee.
