Roma did a superb job during the summer, and tomorrow Jose Mourinho will have another reason to celebrate. Giorginio Wijnaldum is coming from Paris to the Italian capital!The Dutchman is on his way to Rome, he will land today, and tomorrow, after completing his medicals, he will sign a contract with the Wolfess. Wijnaldum’s desire to work with the Portuguese strategist prevailed, and Mourinho convinced him ‘over the phone’ that his future was tied to Roma. How much the Dutch midfielder liked the concept that was presented to him, but also the way Roma are making moves in the market this summer and building a team for big things, is also shown by the fact that he gave up part of his salary. And not a small part.Wijnaldum cleared the last obstacle. The fundamental thing in the negotiations was that, in the end, the Dutchman agreed to 1 million euros less in the whole deal. Roma and Paris Saint-Germain shook hands on a loan with the right to buy the player out at the end of the season and the payment will amount to 8 million euros. And, the player will receive his salary from two addresses – Roma will pay 50 percent of the figure that Wijnaldum had in Paris, which is 7 million fixed and another 3 million euros through bonuses.##NAJAVA_MECA_6541707##Gianluca di Marzio writes that Wijnaldum fits into the policy of the Roman club as he managed to enter the range of 5 million euros net for salary – therefore the Wolfess did not break their upper limit for player earnings. An exception to the rule was not made in the case of Wijnaldum, for whom there was no more room at Parc des Princes. The Dutch midfielder was crossed out by coach Christophe Galtier and new director Luis Campos, and such a move was ideal for Jose Mourinho, who assembled the midfield to his liking.Nemanja Matić got a perfect partner in the Dutchman; the two of them, along with Bryan Cristante, will be part of the maneuver, which did not work well last season. Sergio Oliveira did not bring what was necessary to Roma, but he did enough together with the rest of the team so they can win the Conference League. However, appetites have grown…Roma did not buy Serge Oliveira from Porto – the Portuguese midfielder moved to Galatasaray – and Jordan Veretout is also close to leaving Olimpico Stadium. The Frenchman is about to sign for Olympique Marseille in an 11 million + 4 million euros deal. Patrick Kluivert is well on his way to putting on the shirt of Fulham, thus earning Roma 10 million euros and additionally filling the coffers into which 29,350,000 euros poured in from outgoing transfers this summer. The Wolfess spent only 7 million euros.🚨 Roma’s €8m option to buy Georginio Wijnaldum will turn into an obligation under two conditions:👉 If the midfielder plays half of Roma’s matches this season.👉 If Roma qualify for the 2023-2024 Champions League.(Source: @lequipe) pic.twitter.com/1T1Fg2p8mf— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 4, 2022 The only summer investment for which Roma had to pay was Zeki Celik, while Nemanja Matic, Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala, whom the fans expect to be the new “Prince of Rome”, and Wijnaldum, the silent suffering of the Roman club, were signed as free agents. Six years ago, Roma were one step away from signing the Dutchman, the transfer was seen as done, but Liverpool snatched the player. The Reds cashed out 30 million euros to Newcastle – ten more than Roma were willing to pay.The first time the transfer was not realized – now Wijnaldum is medicals and a signature away from joining Roma.
