Roma set to recover €6 million from Basel in Calafiori sell-on clause dispute

Source: Roma News

AS Roma is pursuing a settlement with Swiss club Basel over outstanding payments from the sale of defender Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal. The dispute centres on sell-on clauses worth €6 million that Roma has never received. When Calafiori left Roma in 2022 for €2.5 million, the Giallorossi retained 40% of his future sale price (€1.5 million), which they collected after Basel sold him to Bologna. Basel then pocketed 50% of the Arsenal transfer fee in 2024, but Roma's contractual entitlement to the additional €6 million remains unpaid. The matter has escalated to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, where an agreement appears imminent.

Roma is actively pursuing financial gains through player sales before the 30 June deadline, aiming to raise funds without having to sell key squad members. Any recovery from the Calafiori settlement would provide a welcome injection into the club's transfer budget. The protracted legal case with Basel, now in arbitration, represents one avenue through which Roma can generate revenue during the summer window.

Roma submit opening bid for Garnacho as push for Summerville continues

Roma have tabled their first offer to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho as they look to strengthen Gasperini's squad for the Champions League. The proposal consists of a loan with a 5 million euro fee plus 35 million euros in a buyout clause that would become mandatory under certain conditions. Garnacho is not the only target on Roma's radar. The club continues to pursue Summerville from West Ham after the Dutch winger's move to Manchester United fell through, with the player being offered to Roma once again. Arsenal and other top clubs are also tracking Tzolis from Club Brugge, though Roma remain interested in the Belgian club's player. Roma are additionally working on a deal for Diego Moreira, with an offer reported to be close to 30–35 million euros plus a percentage of future sale revenue.
