Strootman signs new 5-year AS Roma deal
AS Roma have been handed a major boost after midfielder Kevin Strootman signed a new 5-year contract, tying him to the Serie A runners-up until 2022.
Strootman, 27-year-old, impressed in making 33 league appearances for AS Roma this season, having been restricted to only 11 across the previous two campaigns due to injury woes.
He joined the Serie A side from PSV in 2013 in a deal that can reportedly reach a total value of €19 million.
Roma sealed qualification for next season's Champions League group stages with a 3-2 victory over Genoa on Sunday, Strootman playing the full 90 minutes.
He also has 32 caps for Holland since making his international debut in 2011.

Udinese extend Del Neri contract
Udinese have exercised the option to extend Luigi Del Neri's contract until the end of next season after he guided the club away from trouble in Serie A.
Del Neri was hired at Stadio Friuli in October after Beppe Iachini guided the team to just 2 wins from their opening 7 league matches.
Udinese won 10 and drawn 8 of the 31 Serie A matches Del Neri has taken care of, leading them to a 13th place finish - 13 points clear of the relegation zone.
The 66-year-old will hope to build on that now that a new deal for the 2017-2018 campaign has been agreed.
De Rossi signs Roma renewal
Daniele De Rossi has signed a new contract with AS Roma that will keep him at the club until June 2019.
Roma waved farewell to club icon Francesco Totti at the weekend, but they have to kept another homegrown star on board.
De Rossi's deal was due to expire next month, but he has now penned a 2-year extension to commit his future to the Stadio Olimpico side.
The 33-year-old came through the ranks of the club's youth academy and has made a total of 561 appearances in all competitions for AS Roma since making his debut in 2001, scoring 59 goals in the process.
De Rossi played a key role in Roma's second place finish in the Serie A table this term to help them return to the Champions League, scoring 4 goals in 31 league outings.
Allegri signs Juventus renewal
Massimiliano Allegri has signed a new contract with Juventus that ties him to the Serie A champions until June 2020, the club have announced.
The 49-year-old's deal was due to expire at the end of next season, but he has decided to stay put for 2 additional years.
Allegri was linked with Arsenal earlier this campaign, but he always maintained he intended to stay at Juve and has now ended all speculation about his immediate future.
The former AC Milan coach arrived at the Bianconeri in 2014 to replace Antonio Conte and has since guided the Turin giants to 7 trophies.
Juve have not only won the Serie A title in each of Allegri's 3 seasons at the club - a run which saw them claim an unprecedented 6th successive Scudetto last season - but have also combined it with Coppa Italia success each year.
They narrowly missed out on a historic Treble on two occasions, with FC Barcelona proving to be too strong in the Champions League Final in 2015, before they were beaten by Real Madrid in this year's European showpiece.

Inzaghi signs new Lazio contract
Lazio have announced that head coach Simone Inzaghi has extended his contract.
The 41-year-old has signed a deal that will see him remain in charge in the Italian capital for the next 3 seasons.
Inzaghi confirmed this week that an agreement had been reached and he is relishing the prospect of challenging for the top 3 in Serie A next season.
Inzaghi took over initially on an interim basis last April after Stefano Pioli's exit, but he missed out on the full-time job when Marcelo Bielsa was appointed in July.
However, after the Argentine sensationally resigned just 2 days into the job, Inzaghi was named his replacement on a permanent basis.
Lazio enjoyed a strong 2016-2017 campaign, finishing fifth in Serie A and reaching the Coppa Italia Final, where they lost to Juventus.
They will play in the Europa League next season.
Inter appoint Spalletti
Inter Milano have announced the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as the club's new head coach, the former AS Roma coach signing a 2-year deal.
Spalletti left Roma despite leading his team to second place in Serie A last season, setting a new club points record (87) although they finished 4 points behind champions Juventus.
The 58-year-old takes over from interim coach Stefano Vecchi, who was installed at Meazza following the May sacking of Stefano Pioli, who is the new coach of Fiorentina.
Spalletti will be presented to the media at a news conference on Wednesday having been given the chance to lead the club by new owners, Chinese company Suning Holdings Group.
He started his coaching career at Empoli, leading the club to back-to-back promotions to Serie A, before short spells with Sampdoria, Venezia, Udinese and Ancona.
A return to Udinese in 2002 saw him lead the club to Champions League qualification, after which he was appointed by AS Roma for the first of his two spells.
Spalletti won 2 Coppa Italias and was named Coach of the Year twice in his first 4 years at Stadio Olimpico before a switch to Zenit Sankt Petersburg, where he claimed 2 Russian Premier League titles, returning to Roma in January 2016.
Buffon to retire next year
Gianluigi Buffon admits he is certain that he will retire from professional football after the 2018 World Cup.
Buffon has repeatedly stated his desire to hang up his boots after representing Italy in Russia, but the veteran goalkeeper has now suggested that he would play on if Juventus won the Champions League next season.
"Retiring after Russia 2018 ? Yes, this'll happen 99,9%", he told Sky Sport Italia.
"I'll have one more intense and busy season with important appointments. After that, it'll be time to say enough is enough."
Serie A schedule announced
The Lega Serie A has officially confirmed next season's schedule, with no Christmas break.
Giampiero Ventura had asked for the season to finish earlier, with the 2018 World Cup due to get underway on 14 June.
Today the Lega Serie A has released the dates for the new season, which will kick off on Sunday 20 August.
The campaign will finish on 20 May 2018, with the Coppa Italia Final moved to 9 May to avoid clashes with the Champions League Final and to give more time for World Cup preparation.
The midweek rounds will be held on Wednesday 20 September, Wednesday 25 October and Wednesday 18 April, though it's likely there will also be Tuesday and Thursday games for TV coverage.
There is no winter break, with just one rest week on 14 January and the international breaks in September, October, November and March.
The Calcio season will get underway with the Supercoppa Italiana between Juventus and Lazio on Sunday 13 August at the Stadio Olimpico.
AS Roma appoint Di Francesco
AS Roma have appointed former Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco as their new head coach, the Serie A club have confirmed.
The 47-year-old, who played for AS Roma for 4 seasons between 1997 and 2001, has signed a 2-year contract with the capital club.
Di Francesco served as Roma's team manager in 2005-2006 but truly made a name for himself during a celebrated 5-year spell with Sassuolo, during which time he led them to Serie A for the first time in 2013.
Last season's Europa League campaigned marked further new ground for the Modena outfit and Di Francesco was identified as a frontrunner for the Roma post after Luciano Spalletti's stood down at the end of the season.
Spalletti led Roma to second place in Serie A and was confirmed as Inter's new coach last Friday, with Di Francesco's own appointment coming a matter of hours after Sassuolo confirmed his departure by mutual consent on Tuesday.
Palombo to join Sampdoria staff
Sampdoria have officially confirmed that Angelo Palombo has retired, and will join the coaching staff.
The midfielder spent almost his entire career with the Blucerchiati, joining on a free transfer from Fiorentina in 2002 and making over 450 appearances.
"Loyal club servant Angelo Palombo has joined the Sampdoria coaching staff after calling time on his extraordinary 15-year playing career with the Blucerchiati", Samp said in a statement on their official website.
"Arriving as a fresh-faced 20-year-old in 2002, the midfielder helped Samp gain promotion to Serie A in his first season at the club."
"He would go on to become club captain and rack up over 450 appearances in all competitions, placing him 4th in the all-time appearance rankings behind Roberto Mancini, Moreno Mannini and Pietro Vierchowod."
"Now he will begin a new chapter in his long Doria career, putting his experience, ability and sense of belonging at the service of Marco Giampaolo in coaching the current crop."
"On behalf of president Massimo Ferrero and everyone at the club, we wish the newest member of our coaching staff the very best of luck in his new job."
Acerbi & Adjapong extend Sassuolo contracts
Francesco Acerbi and Claud Adjapong have officially extended their Sassuolo contracts to June 2022.
The defender had stated he'd had his last season with the Neroverdi and wanted to move away.
He was linked with the likes of Inter, AS Roma, Napoli and Leicester City, but the €12 million price-tag put many clubs off.
Now 29-year-old Acerbi has signed on to a new long-term contract with Sassuolo.
Also tying himself to the Mapei Stadium until June 2022 is 19-year-old right-back Adjapong.
He came up through the Sassuolo youth academy, born in nearby Modena, and last season made 13 competitive appearances for the senior squad, contributing one goal.

Inter confirm knee ligament injury for Cancelo
Joao Cancelo is set for an undetermined spell on the sidelines just 8 days after signing for Inter after suffering knee ligament damage on international duty with Portugal.
Cancelo swapped Valencia for Meazza last week, moving on a season-long loan deal, with Inter holding the option to make the move permanent.
The 23-year-old was a 84th minute substitute in Saturday's 3-1 Serie A victory over AS Roma but that could be his sole Inter appearance for some time.
While training with Fernando Santos' European champions ahead of their World Cup qualifiers with Faroe Islands and Hungary the full-back tore ligaments in his knee and faces time out recovering from the injury.
Roma sign Schick on initial loan deal
AS Roma have completed the signing of forward Patrik Schick from Sampdoria on loan with an obligation to buy.
The 21-year-old Czech Republic international scored 11 Serie A goals last term and had been linked with moves to Juventus and Inter Milano before agreeing to join Roma.
The Giallorossi have disclosed details of a structured deal which sees them pay an initial €5 million loan fee, before a further €9 million to make it permanent on a contract running until 2022 should unspecified sporting objectives be fulfilled.
Roma have agreed to shell out a further €20 million in 2020 and could also have to make additional performance-based payments of up to €8 million to Samp.
