iirc it's 30% of anything above 25m.
But his contract ends next year.
I don't think AS Roma will get a dollar if Ale is sold this summer.
I didn't like him either, at first.
Underwhelming physique, questionable decision-making, awkward Zapata-esque posture, bad at aiming headers, seemingly incompatible with Romagnoli.
But he pulled himself together after a while and developed a nice partnership with Kjaer.
He plays with extraordinary awareness, attention and maturity for someone that young. I think he has great potential.
I used to be obsessed with pace, but Kjaer and plenty of other CBs have proved it's not decisive, even in a high line. Pace won't save you when you're not realizing what's going on until it's too late.
Besides, Gabbia isn't Romagnoli slow.
Romagnoli didn't used to be this slow.
It's not pace that worries me about Gabbia, it's his lack of tenacity as a defender. He's well rounded overall, but as a defender I like to see more bite.
