LATEST NEWS FROM AS ROMA – A hidden clause, a mystery unveiled and a truth that Roma would have preferred to keep out of the spotlight. The Paredes case exploded with statements from the Argentine midfielder, who confirmed the existence of a contractual agreement initially denied by Trigoria. It all started last March 11, when Roma announced Paredes’ renewal until 2026, anticipating an extension that could have been triggered automatically. A choice that now appears linked to an understanding with Boca Juniors, club of the Argentine’s heart.
The “phantom” clause and the Paredes twist.
The deal would include a 3.5 million rescission clause valid only for Boca, exercisable starting in May 2025. A detail leaked in Argentina and initially denied by Roma, until Paredes himself confirmed it directly from the Argentina camp: “Yes, the clause exists and it is only for Boca. I have to thank Roma for the renewal, even though I had not yet reached the goals set for the automatic extension.”
Roma confirms: there is a gentlemen’s agreement
In the face of the player’s words, Roma had to admit the existence of a gentlemen’s agreement with Boca, which will be able to bring Paredes back to Argentina by paying a sum higher than the 2.5 million spent two years ago by the Giallorossi club to buy him from PSG and which would therefore allow a good capital gain. Not a farewell already written, but a concrete option for the future. Now the decision is up to Boca, while in Trigoria they will have to manage a situation that is likely to ignite controversy.
