Yeh I changed my post slightly when I realised it said they want to add the sell on clause, so there is still a chance it doesn’t happen. The fact that they are even asking for that is annoying me though. May as well ask for a buy back clause while they’re at it.

Don't see the issue personally.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's normal teams asking for 10-15% sell on clause specially for young players. Good news for us they didn't ask for 25%

Covid isn’t really affecting the market though. People keep bringing it up but transfer fees in general are relatively high. The fee is lower than what Tielemans went for at a similar age. Other players with a similar profile have also gone for more.

I guess it depends on the team. Lille are tryna sell cheap, Leipzig with Sabitzer. But I just don’t get why a sell on is even being mentioned. Rarely happens in these deals to big clubs.

I do. If it actually happens ofc.

So in 4 years if we sell him for £80M we give them £12M. So what.

That’s still money that a lot of big clubs usually don’t sign up to when signing players.

What top team in this country have bought a player with a sell on clause?

 

[TimoJens]

Nobody watched him here but according to Belgian journalists and people who watch him rate him so highly and say he top 3 best young players in thier league

And that league is rather poor.

Pretty sure Zaha and Depay both had sell on clauses. Thing is your City/United/Chelsea's don't tend to buy young players like Leicester do and like we are doing now. They pay huge money therefore don't need a sell on clause.

The trick to avoiding a sell on clause , let's just never sell him

I just don’t like it, principles

We’re used to that to be fair, even if he flops we will keep him for another 6 years.

 

[em9999]

Even when he does leave it will probably be on a free knowing us and 15% of nothing isn't worth having

 

[El Duderino]

Reckon if he wasn't the captain the sell on would be much lower.

So was the Scottish league and we picked up Tierney from there.

 

[Iceman10]

If we have to go up a few million in price to have any sell-on dropped, I wouldn't mind, even 20m (Euros), maybe juiced up with different types of add-ons. This will be an early glimpse into the negotiation skills of Garlick.

 

[Barry]

Edu’s is poor. Kinda rubbish deal if true and we add that 15% sell on clause. He’s not really coming cheap considering he’s from a small club + it’s covid. Could be up to 21.5m euros AND they want a 15% sell on clause ? He’s not Haaland what is this. I’ll take the deal without the clause.

Was thinking the same. Sell on clause on a good fee from the Belgian league? Hope we tell them to do one, we will get bent over by every club we deal with after that.

We are not a top team anymore. We finished 8th

 

[neimad]

We are not a top team anymore. We finished 8th

European Super League founders though. They can never take that from us

Looking forward to seeing this guy play. Captain at that age says a lot.

 

[MauveGunner]

If this is true, damn. Verbeke is a master negotiator. He is also offloading all the dead wood of the squad like crazy. . Edu inexpercience is also a factor in this, but still.

Covid isn’t really affecting the market though. People keep bringing it up but transfer fees in general are relatively high. The fee is lower than what Tielemans went for at a similar age. Other players with a similar profile have also gone for more.

Tielemans left RSCA as a better player to Monaco though.

Agree. Not a lot of players make club captain at the age of 21. Must really have impressed on Kompany for him to appoint him that.
