The 17-year-old Paraguayan international has been the subject of a transfer battle between the two clubs since his denial to sign a new deal with the Catalan outfit.<br />

However, Sanabria has revealed that he will join the Capital club in the summer, with the Giallorossi having triggered his &pound;3.6m buy-out clause.<br />

Sanabria is expected to join an Italian club during the winter transfer window in order to gain valuable football experience in the Serie A.<br />

"I will go to Roma," the talented Paraguayan youngster said. "Roma already put the necessary money to the Spanish Federation for the clause asked by Barcelona. "<br />

"I can't play for them for six months so I will soon go on loan to another Serie A team."<br />

Sanbria has been capped three times by Paraguay.
