DAS soon to Roma side: €6m extra coming from Basel

In 2022, Roma sold Riccardo Calafiori to Basel. A 40% interest in future resale rights was added to the then €2.5 million balance. Roma later received €1.5 million from Calafiori when he moved to Bologna.

But the Rome-Basel agreement also reportedly included a 50% percentage clause for future resale. As a result, Basel accounted for half of the total amount received when Calafiori was sold to Arsenal; Roma got nothing out of it. Roma argued that they had the right to do so and turned off the Lausanne Sports Tribunal.

Now the tribunal is on the verge of ruling in favor of Roma's argument, Il Messaggero reported. If such a verdict is handed down, Roma will receive an additional €6 million for sure.

Calafiori, meanwhile, has repeatedly expressed his desire to return to Roma one day. But in the near term his journey looks set to continue in the English Premier League or be diverted by a new bid from Real Madrid. Real Madrid are also said to be trying to sign the Italian defender from Arsenal.

As of late, Calafiori was a substitute in the Champions League final; His team lost that match to PSG.

If the Roma management can take advantage of this opportunity to generate additional funds, it will help with their squad structure and transfer plans for next season.
