Roma to receive €6m from Calafiori transfer clause

Arsenal defender William Calafiori’s 2022 move from FC Basel triggered a sell-on clause involving AS Roma. The dispute over the clause’s activation has now reached resolution. Roma will receive approximately €6m from the deal. The payment follows AS Roma’s legal pursuit of the clause’s enforcement. Basel initially contested the activation of the sell-on clause. The Swiss club argued procedural and contractual discrepancies in the 2022 transfer. Arsenal signed Calafiori from Basel in August 2022. The defender made 14 appearances for Basel before the move. AS Roma’s sporting director confirmed the agreement. The club did not disclose further details of the settlement. The resolution clears financial hurdles for Roma. The funds will be allocated to squad strengthening.
