Roma have completed the free-transfer signing of Mali international Seydou Keita from Valencia, the Italian club said yesterday.

The former Barcelona player agreed a one-year contract with Roma who finished second in Serie A this season to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2010.

The 34-year-old Keita started this term at Chinese Super League club Dalian Aerbin after spending four years at Barca. He then returned to Spain to sign a six-month contract with Valencia in January.
