The race to sign Jordan Holsgrove


https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-n ... ve-estoril


Charlton, Werder Bremen, Augsburg and Hamburg from the Bundesliga, and Wolverhampton, where César Peixoto plays, are interested in the player who came through Reading's youth system. Estoril wants €3.5 million for the Scottish player, who in turn wants to leave the Estoril team in this summer transfer window and take his career in a new direction. Germany and England are the leagues that appeal to the footballer.

Would the Club receive any money?

In FIFA solidarity payments, we'd be due roughly €140k at that transfer price.

Was there a sell on clause? He was rated here at the time so you’d think the club would have moved to get one included.

I'm not sure if there would be an active clause. IIRC, we sold him to a Spanish side (Celta Vigo?). I'm not sure what the deal was for him to move to Estoril (he could've been out of contract before signing).

If there's still a chain of sell on fees going on, I can't imagine we'd receive a lot (10% of 10% would be €35k for example).

Done very well. That money we got for him doesn’t look so generous now

Has a club ever been pissed off to announce a player has signed a new contract?

I can think of Leeds getting stung with a promotion buy out clause during the Covid years.

Oh, yeah, that fella from RB Leipzig. He was absolute garbage in the Championship but they agreed some ridiculously high fee, something like £30m.

Normally I'd say that's quite unfortunate but it's Leeds, so it's incredibly funny.
