Almaviva posted to social media: "I have dreamed of his since I was little, I fought to get this starting point and now I can happily say that I have achieved it.
"I can finally say that I have signed my first professional contract with Roma, and I want to thank the club for the great opportunity given, my family and my agents, hoping to reach other goals like this. GO ROMA."
