Arsenal saw Under bid rejected because of contract clause

Roma are reportedly reluctant to lose Cengiz Under on the cheap because of a sell-on clause inserted into his deal by former side Basaksehir.

According to reports in Italy, the Turkish side have a 20 per cent sell-on clause, limiting the funds that will be made available to Roma should they decide to cash in on the player.

Reports have suggested that Arsenal were willing to pay around €30 million for the player, but had an offer turned down.

With this in mind, Roma will be keen to maximise that the potential cost of any deal to sell Under, with Bayern Munich also interested in signing the player.

The report claims that Bayern are considering a €50 million move, but could now be forced into offering more.

Sell-on clauses are not uncommon in the modern market and are a great way for smaller clubs to ensure they profit from a player’s success later down the line.
