Roma Prepare €30 Million Offer With 10% Sell-On Clause for Diego Moreira
The bid is designed to lower Roma’s upfront cost as Strasbourg holds a roughly €50 million valuation and Chelsea keeps a buy-back right.
Overview
- In mid-July 2026 Roma have prepared a reported €30 million proposal for Strasbourg winger Diego Moreira that would include a 10% future sell-on clause to reduce the initial outlay.
- Strasbourg is standing firm on a valuation near €50 million, leaving a roughly €15–20 million gap between the clubs and blocking an immediate agreement.
- Agent Jorge Mendes is working on alternative deal structures such as staged payments, loan-plus-option terms, or add-ons to try to bridge the valuation gap and satisfy Strasbourg.
- Chelsea retain a reported buy-back or matching right from Moreira’s 2024 departure, a contractual feature that could let Chelsea re-acquire or match any third-party offer and complicate a sale to Roma.
- Roma’s urgency follows their failure to sign their primary target for 2026–27 and Moreira’s rise from regular club minutes and World Cup exposure makes him an attractive, versatile option who could shift Roma’s attacking shape if signed.
