AS Roma 目前正致力於簽購 Mason Greenwood 以及處理 Lorenzo Pellegrini 的合約正規化事宜。
Main Body
Regarding the potential acquisition of Mason Greenwood, a preliminary consensus has been established between the player and AS Roma, involving a remuneration package of €4.5 million net annually, supplemented by performance-based incentives. While Olympique de Marseille initially valued the asset at €55 million—of which 40% is designated for Manchester United—subsequent deliberations have resulted in a revised valuation of €50 million. AS Roma intends to submit a formal proposal of €40 million plus bonuses, with a projected closing threshold of €45 million. The urgency of this transaction is predicated on the objective of integrating the player into the training regimen commencing July 13th.
關於潛在簽購 Mason Greenwood 的事宜，球員與 AS Roma 已初步達成共識，涉及每年 450 萬歐元的淨薪資，並加上表現獎金。雖然馬賽 (Olympique de Marseille) 最初將其估值定為 5,500 萬歐元——其中 40% 歸曼聯 (Manchester United) 所有——但隨後的商議將估值修正為 5,000 萬歐元。AS Roma 打算提交一份 4,000 萬歐元外加獎金的正式提案，預計最終成交價將在 4,500 萬歐元左右。此次交易的緊迫性在於希望球員能於 7 月 13 日起投入訓練計劃。
Simultaneously, the club is addressing the contractual status of Lorenzo Pellegrini, who transitioned to free agency on July 1st. Despite the emergence of external interest from Besiktas, the player has indicated a preference for continued tenure in Rome. Under the direction of Gasperini and Tony D’Amico, the administration has initiated formal dialogues with Pellegrini's representation to facilitate a renewal. This effort constitutes a broader institutional strategy to stabilize the squad's core, following the near-completion of contract extensions for Paulo Dybala and Zeki Celik.
同時，球會正在處理 Lorenzo Pellegrini 的合約狀態，他已於 7 月 1 日成為自由球員。儘管土耳其 Besiktas 表達了興趣，但球員表示更傾向於留在羅馬。在 Gasperini 與 Tony D’Amico 的領導下，管理層已與 Pellegrini 的代表展開正式對話以促成續約。此舉屬於更廣泛的體制策略，旨在穩定球隊核心，此前 Paulo Dybala 與 Zeki Celik 的續約亦已接近完成。
Conclusion
The club is currently finalizing a transfer fee for Greenwood and initiating renewal talks with Pellegrini.
球會目前正在敲定 Greenwood 的轉會費，並啟動與 Pellegrini 的續約談判。
Vocabulary Learning
The Art of 'Nominalization' and High-Register Abstraction
To transition from B2 to C2, a student must move beyond action-oriented language toward concept-oriented language. The provided text is a masterclass in Nominalization: the process of turning verbs (actions) into nouns (concepts). This shifts the focus from who is doing what to the institutional process itself.
🧩 The Linguistic Pivot
Observe the transformation from standard narrative to C2 administrative prose:
- B2 (Action-based): "The club is trying to fix Pellegrini's contract." C2 (Nominalized): "...the contractual regularization of Lorenzo Pellegrini."
- B2: "They agreed on a price." C2: "...a preliminary consensus has been established."
- B2: "They want to get him in for training by July 13th." C2: "The urgency... is predicated on the objective of integrating the player..."
🔬 Why this defines C2 Mastery
At the C2 level, the objective is not merely clarity, but precision and distance. By using nouns like regularization, consensus, and valuation, the writer removes the 'human' element and replaces it with 'institutional' logic. This creates a tone of objectivity and authority common in legal, diplomatic, and corporate spheres.
🛠 Syntactic Sophistication: The "Predicated" Construction
One specific phrase in the text serves as a high-level anchor: "The urgency of this transaction is predicated on the objective of..."
- Analysis: Instead of saying "They are rushing because...", the author uses predicated on. This indicates a logical dependency.
- C2 Application: Use
[Abstract Noun] + [Passive Verb] + [Prepositional Phrase]to build complex arguments without relying on simple cause-and-effect conjunctions (like because or since).
C2 Pro-Tip: To elevate your writing, audit your drafts for verbs ending in -ing or simple action verbs and attempt to convert them into complex noun phrases. This transforms a 'story' into a 'report'.
