Italian giants AS Roma have announced on their official website that they have signed Argentine defender Nicolas Spolli from Catania.
The Giallorossi have agreed to pay €1.5m for a six-month loan, while they have the option to make the deal permanent for additional €1.5m.
Roma officials turned to Spolli after they failed in their attempts to sign Younes Kaboul and Vlad Chiriches.
The 31-year-old had only represented two clubs in his career ahead of the switch to Stadio Olimpico, having begun his career at Newell s Old Boys and joined Catania in 2009.
Spoli has since made 132 Serie A appearances for the Elephants, while featuring in 16 Serie B fixtures this season.
The experienced stopper is expected to provide cover for Kostas Manolas, Davide Astori and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, given that star defender Leandro Castan could miss the remainder of the season.
Roma had earlier reinforced their attack with Victor Ibarbo and Seydou Doumbia.
