Live Bar News on August 3 The Athletic star Ornstein said that Southampton defender liframento’s transfer fee to Newcastle was close to 40 million pounds.
The negotiation between the two sides began in June this year. Chelsea, the former owner of the players, owns the resale share of the players. The transfer share that the Blues can get is a floating form. The higher the total price of the players, the higher the transfer share ratio that the Blues can get. Accordingly, if Southampton sells players at a higher price, they will eventually get less transfer fee.
As an example in TA’s report, if Livramento’s transfer fee is 30 million pounds, Southampton can get 60 percent (18 million pounds) of it. But if the transfer fee is 50 million pounds, they will get 28 million pounds (56 percent).
According to the report, such terms also make the negotiation between Southampton and Newcastle complicated, and Southampton needs to ensure that it can make considerable profits.
Liframento paid 4 million pounds in Southampton during his transfer in the summer of 2021. the player was troubled by injuries last season and only played twice. His contract with Southampton is still three years away, and the current German price is 25 million euros.
