I see Sporting Lisbon have paid us circa £2,5m as a one off to reduce the future percentage from 15% to 10% in terms of profit. They wouldn't do that if they didn't think he was off. Good news for us overall.

I’m wondering (hopefully) if this also explains the demonstratively tight lipped responses to transfer enquiries from the club? Basically, we’re about to spend a shit ton of money on players off the back of Vik’s sale…and we don’t want to tell you that.

Mmm...is that a little foolhardy? Like you say they wouldn't do it if they thought he was off. Will we now make less money when he does get sold. Depends of the fee, of course.

£2m now is better than £3.5m over the course of 4 years IMO, as I assume sell-ons are paid over the same time period transfer fees are.

It's possible we didn't have a choice. Remember the original wording, 15% that can be reduced to 10% at Sporting's discretion, or similar wording.

Why would they pay 2.5 million for the fun of it if they can reduce it at their discretion?

Nobody would agree that it makes no sense.

Is this a case of someone is going to pony up the release clause very soon?

If the profit is £60mil, then they save around £500k... if the clauses we believe are correct.

I don't think we are getting £2.5M now by the looks of it. Turner's article seems to imply that's what we have earned including payments last season for appearances/goals scored, etc. So might not be as lucrative as it seems. So only €1M payment.

They’ve only paid us €1m. But it does indicate he could be off because that 5% would be worth £3m+ depending on his sale value.

If you ever think the chats about what we will receive from the Vik sale make no sense on here, i've just read a discussion about it on the Facebook forum and had a stroke.

Way I read the Portuguese article, the initial transfer was with a 15% sell-on. Once Vik achieved his targets, that sell-on dropped to 10%.

Info everyone knows.

This article is only saying that as a result of that reduction, we are owed €3m in place of the extra 5% sell-on.

The deal was IIRC £20m and 15% with £4m of add ons that when met reduce the sell on to 10%. But Sporting can pay what’s left of the £4m at any time to reduce it even if Vik hasn’t met the add on requirements.

If they owe £2.5m on the add ons, then it’s worth them buying it out if they expect him to go for £50m or more profit. So £70m total.

Arsenal were reported to have structured a deal of £76M a couple of weeks back?

If so, this €1 million plus 10% profit would see an extra €9 million for the pot if it’s the release clause being met. Could do some very useful business with that

Sporting must believe he will be sold this next month. It’s cheaper for them to pay the €3 now and then 10%. No other reason to do that unless he is off.
