Roma secure Romano sale to Cagliari for total €6.5m | OneFootball

Roma need to raise funds by June 30 to balance the books and received a boost with the sale of Alessandro Romano to Cagliari for €6.5m including add-ons.

The Giallorossi face a difficult task every summer trying to meet their strict Financial Fair Play settlement limits, even after qualifying for the Champions League.

While Matias Soulé continues to stall on a possible move to the Saudi Pro League, they have at least managed to agree one sale.

Sky Sport Italia note that midfielder Romano has agreed personal terms with Cagliari, so can now complete the transfer.

It is worth €5m plus up to a further €1.5m in various performance-related bonuses.

The 20-year-old is a product of their youth academy and spent this season in Serie B on loan at Spezia.

With only two Serie A appearances as a substitute under his belt, it should be an opportunity to prove what he can do at the top level.

Romano has played throughout the youth levels of the Switzerland national team.
