Roma Prepares for 18 Million Payday from Atletico Madrid
There is a buzz of anticipation in the mercato of Roma’s football world. An 18 million euro transfer deal is on the verge of completion with Atletico Madrid. This could mean significant financial inflow for the cash strapped Roman outfit.
Potential for Extra Funding
Roma is eyeing this deal as a promising opportunity to bolster its bank balance. The player under negotiation could bring in some additional millions to boost the club’s coffers. There is a possibility of earning less than what has already been added to the club’s balance sheet, yet the prospect is still enticing.
A Tough Legacy left behind
It was apparent that the player at the center of this deal, Zaniolo, was finished at Roma. His tenure wrapped up tumultuously, leaving him stuck in a complicated situation. This led to Zaniolo being offloaded by Roma to Galatasaray, the club that truly demonstrated keen interest in him. Subsequently, to explore his development potential, Roma arranged for a 20% future sale clause with Galatasaray that could be activated if Zaniolo was sold for more than the 16 million euros Roma had invested.
The Status of Zaniolo’s Mercato
In this particular context, Roma could potentially receive 400,000 euros. Rumors from Spain indicate Zaniolo’s potential move to Atletico Madrid for 18 million euros. Consequently, there is growing excitement about the prospect of a lucrative move from Istanbul to Madrid.
Their Glances Turn Towards Madrid
The reported interest from Atletico Madrid in procuring the player currently in England emerged from masfichajes.com. Atletico, under the guidance of Simeone, might move decisively to secure Zaniolo who is set to join Germany next summer as part of the European championship Italian team. Roma’s interest is piqued as this turns out to be a financially viable deal. The 400,000 euros acquired in this deal could help offset the loan expenses for player Huijsen. While this might not be a game-changer, the prospect of added income will likely please the Friedkin family at this time.
