It is a loan with option to buy for circa €18m, becoming an obligation if certain conditions are met, which will probably include the number of player appearances.
This was put in place by Roma due to Oosterwolde’s poor injury record.
The player had already agreed personal terms with the Serie A side, who are in the Champions League this season.

What happened
Roma have secured the signing of Oosterwolde from Fenerbahce in a deal that includes an €18 million purchase option. The move bolsters Roma's defensive options as they look to strengthen their squad. Oosterwolde, who joined Fenerbahce from Parma, will bring versatility to the Roma backline. The structure of the deal — with a buy option rather than an outright transfer — suggests Roma are testing the player before committing fully.
Chance analysis
Roma's acquisition of Oosterwolde from Fenerbahce adds depth and competition to a defensive unit that has been under scrutiny. A €18m purchase option indicates a measured approach: Roma get immediate reinforcement without an irreversible upfront commitment, while Fenerbahce free up squad space and potentially a future windfall. For the Turkish side, losing a key defender is a setback, though the optional structure softens the blow. The move reflects Roma's continued investment in reshaping their squad under their current project.
Roma gain defensive reinforcement via a flexible purchase option; Fenerbahce lose a squad player with potential future financial return.
