It's also worth noting there is a difference between a sell on fee written into a transfer and the required compensation clubs get for developing players when they move internationally...Sutekh wrote: ↑08 Apr 2026 15:55That about sums it up I believe.Clyde1998 wrote: ↑27 Mar 2026 18:37There's also the chain of sell on fees to consider, which I only found out about from the Price is Football.tidus_mi2 wrote: ↑27 Mar 2026 09:34
Every international transfer during his career, I just used Google AI because I'm lazy but it says 5% of the overall transfer goes to clubs who trained him from his 12th to 23rd birthday, 5% of that 5% from the 12th to 15th birthday and 10% from that 5% for the 16th to 23rd birthday
So from my understanding, he joined us when he was 15 then left when he was 20, I don't know the exact calculations but I worked this out to about £4m on a £200m transfer fee.
If I understand correctly, a player who had a 20% sell on clause when transferring from Club A to Club B and a 20% sell on when transferring from Club B to Club C would still see Club A receive a fee when that player transfers from Club C to Club D (20% of the 20%). This chain only gets broken once a player lets their contract expire or a transfer doesn't include a sell on fee.
It's based on profits, so a £200m fee would be a £150m profit for Bayern. If Palace have a 20% sell on fee, they'd get £30m from Bayern. If we had a 20% sell on fee from his transfer to Palace (IIRC, we did), we'd get £6m from Palace.
Depends on what's specifically written into transfer contracts mind.
Olise is the latter isn’t it?
