Parma land Tigre striker David Romero in 10 million move | OneFootball

Parma have secured Tigre striker David Romero in a package valued at 10 million dollars for 100 percent of his registration, plus performance-related add-ons. Tigre, the Victoria club, will also retain a percentage of any future sale.

He will travel to Europe in the coming days for a medical and will sign a five-season contract with the Serie A side. According to SuperDepor.com, the move ends Boca Juniors’ pursuit of the prolific forward.

Romero had drawn interest from Al Jazira of the United Arab Emirates and Sevilla, among others, with Parma stepping up to win the race. He will join a notable list of Argentines at the Gialloblù, including Hernán Crespo, Juan Sebastián Verón and Ariel Ortega.

Boca were among the leading contenders, but the hierarchy led by Román Riquelme declined to meet Tigre’s demand, which was close to 12 million dollars.

The striker was one of the revelations of the first half of the year, scoring 11 goals in 19 matches.

Tigre bought his full rights from Talleres de Córdoba in January and extended his contract to December 2030. From this sale, Talleres are due 3.045 million dollars gross plus 450,000 dollars in training compensation, taking their return to about 3.5 million dollars from the transfer of Rulo Romero to Italian football.
