No transfer fee was disclosed but British media reports said the central defender had moved to the Serie A club for 4.5 million pounds ($7.01 million).

Chiriches made 43 appearances for Spurs after moving to the Premier League side in 2013 for a reported 6.8 million pounds from Steaua Bucharest, the club he joined from Pandurii Targu Jiu.

The 25-year-old, who has 32 caps and can also play at full back, made his Steaua debut in July 2011 and helped them win the domestic title in the 2012-13 season.
