Strootman, 28, joins the French club for an initial fee of €25 million.

The deal also includes a number of performance-related add-ons, on the part of both the player and the buying club, worth an additional €3m.

Strootman joined the Giallorossi from PSV Eindhoven in July 2013. In total he made 130 appearances for the club, scoring 13 goals.
