UPDATE - AS Roma’s deal for John Arne Riise is done as the payer will earn 2.8 Million Euro per year in a 4 year deal as Roma will pay 5 Million Euros to Liverpool over the course of four installments.

The breakdown gets even more complicated as Roma will have to pay certain amounts dependent on how many Champions League matches and player appearances Riise makes with the club.

Norwegian left back John Arne Riise seems to be on his way to AS Roma after Liverpool accepted the 5 Million Pound transfer bid from the Serie A team.

Anyone else thinking the 5 Mil for of the 27 year old Riise and 14 Mil for Xabi Alonso is going straight to the kitty for a new Gareth Barry bid?
