Transfer Negotiations and Sell-On Clause Dispute
Roma’s sporting director Tony D’Amico has prepared an offer of €30 million plus bonuses for Strasbourg winger Diego Moreira, with a 10 % cut of any future resale. Strasbourg, however, is pressing for a higher share, seeking to raise the sell-on percentage from 10 % to 20 %. The French club has also lowered its overall financial demands but still views the proposed resale share as the key sticking point. Chelsea, which retains a contractual stake in Moreira, is reported to be involved in the phone calls between the clubs.
Background: Gasperini’s Target List and Moreira’s Profile
Gian Piero Gasperini and newly appointed sporting director Tony D’Amico have identified four primary targets for the summer window: Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea), Nicolo Tresoldi (Club Brugge), Crysencio Summerville (West Ham), and Diego Moreira (Strasbourg). Moreira, a 21-year-old Belgian born in Grugliasco, is praised for his versatility, capable of operating in five to six positions on the flank. He concluded the previous season with five goals and nine assists for Strasbourg.
Official Positions from Roma and Strasbourg
- Roma: Offers €30 million plus bonuses and proposes a 10 % future-transfer clause, while already agreeing on a €2 million-per-season salary for Moreira.
- Strasbourg: Requests a 20 % future-transfer share, indicating that the resale percentage is the primary hurdle to finalising the deal.
What’s Next
Roma is expected to pursue a definitive agreement within the next few hours, and further discussions between the clubs are slated to continue until the terms are finalised. The outcome will determine whether Moreira joins the Giallorossi before the summer transfer window closes.
