Roma are still waiting to collect a significant sum linked to the sale of Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal, which could generate a significant capital gain to be recorded in the balance sheet.
The Giallorossi are closely following the development of the legal dispute with Basel and is also keeping UEFA up to date, given the importance of the operation in terms of the Settlement Agreement.
The crux of the matter concerns the clause inserted at the time of the player’s sale to the Swiss club: Roma would be entitled to 40% of the amount of the future resale, including both the fixed and variable parts.
When Bologna sold Calafiori to Arsenal for 50 million euros, Basel — which was entitled to 50% of the capital gain — collected approximately 23.5 million euros.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, in addition to the million and a half already received by Roma at the time of the defender’s transfer from Basel to Bologna (for 4 million), in Trigoria they believe that the contract gives the right to a share equal to 40% of what the Swiss subsequently received: approximately 9.4 million euros.
