BERLIN: Defender Tin Jedvaj turned his two-year loan switch from AS Roma to Bayer Leverkusen into a permanent transfer on Tuesday, signing a deal that will keep him at the German club until 2019.
The 19-year-old Croatian international joined the Bundesliga team this season and instantly impressed Leverkusen bosses and fans.
"Tin Jedvaj has massive potential and he has shown it in just a few months at Bayer," sports director Rudi Voeller said in a statement.
"His versatility will continue to be a source of great joy for us. That is why we immediately decided to tie Tin to us."
The tall defender quickly earned a spot in coach Roger Schmidt's attacking team, scoring twice in 14 league games while also showing his tough-tackling side with five yellow cards.
Leverkusen, who are third in the Bundesliga, take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 next month.
