Joao Cancelo has moved from Manchester City to Al Hilal, paving the way for Saud Abdulhamid to leave the Saudi Pro League champions.
Roma have signed Saud Abdulhamid from Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal, the Serie A club announced on Tuesday.
Reports in Italy suggest the deal for the 25-year-old defender was worth €3million.
"Roma are pleased to announce the signing of Saud Abdulhamid on a permanent deal from Al Hilal," the club said in a short statement.
The Saudi Arabia international was a key player for Jorge Jesus' side last season, netting four times and providing nine assists in all competitions to help Al Hilal win a domestic treble.
Manchester City's Joao Cancelo joined Al Hilal to replace Abdulhamid, who will be the first Saudi Arabian player to compete in Serie A.
