The financial details of the Tammy Abraham transfer to Roma have been analysed at €40m plus bonuses and the €80m Chelsea buy-back clause from 2023, but only €5m is payable now.
The 23-year-old had his medical over the weekend and signed the contract, but had to return to London to finish the paperwork for a visa and work permit.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the details of the complicated agreement have been released and show how the Giallorossi were able to afford it.
The total cost of the operation will be €40m plus performance-related bonuses.
Chelsea will only receive €5m of it this summer, another €20m by the summer of 2024 in various instalments and a further €15m for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Premier League side can also retain a buy-back option on Abraham worth €80m, but it is only valid from July 2023.
The England international’s salary is expected to be worth €4.5m net, but that is thanks to the Italian tax credit aimed to bring foreign talent into the country, so it is ‘only’ €5.8m gross for Roma.

What a waste of money. How this guy is worth 40m is being me
could be a gd player
Decent player, but do Roma really need another striker? They already have Mayoral and Shomurodov and have several players who could stand in as a false number 9.
It’s seems like an unnecessary purchase to me, more so given the fragile economic situation that so many clubs are in right now.
Roma begged and pleaded for this guy who DOES NOT want to be in Rome. What a joke…I mean, there are plenty of players who would happily accept roma. Why bother with this guy, who has already made it clear he has 0 interest in this club.
