Roma, Basel reach agreement over Calafiori’s resale clause | OneFootball

Riccardo Calafiori is one of the players who emerged from Roma’s youth system and has managed to establish himself on the big stage.

The former Giallorossi defender won the Premier League with Arsenal this year and lost the Champions League final on penalties against PSG (a match in which he was an unused substitute).

Before wearing the Arsenal jersey, the 2002-born player was sold by Mourinho and Pinto’s Roma to Basel for just over €2 million, retaining a 40% interest in the future sale.

He subsequently moved to Bologna, and the Giallorossi collected €1.5 million. However, a stalemate ensued over the additional €9 million that Roma requested from the Swiss club.

The Rossoblu sold Calafiori for €43 million, and half of that money, nearly €22 million, ended up in Basel’s coffers. \

According to the contract between the Capitoline club and the Swiss club, any proceeds from the sale of the 2002-born player were to be paid to Roma at 40%.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi and Basel have reached an agreement regarding the future resale of Riccardo Calafiori.

The Swiss club will pay the club approximately €6 million. The loss of an extraordinary player who grew up in their youth academy remains a matter of regret.
