Leonardo Balerdi is ready to reclaim his place at Roma. The Argentine defender has overcome the injury he suffered on Saturday at the Maradona against Napoli and will be available for the trip to Udine, where he could start again. This is important news for the Giallorossi, who will be able to count on one of the players capable of quickly carving out a leading role.
The impact on the Roma environment seems to have exceeded expectations, so much so that Balerdi himself said he already feels perfectly integrated: "It feels like I've been here for 2-3 years ," the Argentine said, revealing the strong bond he's built with the team and his desire to continue his adventure in the capital. This is also a significant sign from a transfer perspective, considering his permanent stay will depend on the financial and sporting conditions stipulated in the buy-out agreement.
Roma has already mapped out the Balerdi buyout plan: here's how much it will cost.
The defender's future, writes Il Messaggero , is tied to two appearance thresholds that will determine the value of the deal. The expected figure is €14 million if Balerdi plays at least 55% of the matches, playing at least 45 minutes in each of the counted games.
If the percentage were to be between 40% and 55%, the cost would drop by €3 million, reaching €11 million. This is a significant financial difference, but it doesn't appear likely to compromise the desire to keep the player. Balerdi's permanence in the capital, in fact, currently appears unquestionable, given his performances and the trust he's earned.
