Carafiore is about to complete an important transfer in his career, joining Premier League giants Arsenal from Bologna. The transfer not only marks a new chapter in Carafiore's career, but also involves a complex distribution of interests between the clubs he has played for in the past.
As an Italian international, Carafiore has long been a star in the soccer world, and his transfer has naturally attracted a lot of attention. According to the latest news, Arsenal has reached an agreement with Bologna on the transfer of Carafiore, and will sign the defender for a whopping 50 million euros. The transfer fee is undoubtedly a huge sum for Bologna, who will receive a capital gain of 46 million euros from the sale of Carafiore, which is almost ten times the 4 million euros they spent on bringing in Carafiore last year.
However, the distribution of this transfer fee does not stop there. According to Carafiore's transfer agreement during his career, Basel, as his previous club, will be entitled to 50% of the capital gains from this transfer fee, i.e. €23 million. This clause was set up to reflect the profit-sharing mechanism between clubs in the modern soccer transfer market and highlights the important role Basel played in Carafiore's development.
In addition, Roma FC will also get a share of this transfer. When Basel signed Carafiore from Roma, the agreement between the two parties stipulated that Basel would need to share 40% of the proceeds of each future transfer of Carafiore to Roma. Therefore, in this transfer to Arsenal, Roma will receive a share of €9.2 million. This is not only a recognition of Roma's contribution to the development of the Carafiore, but also a reflection of the cooperation and win-win situation between clubs in the modern soccer transfer market.
