davieG Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 Leicester City could be paying another €500k for the transfer of Islam Slimani at the end of the season, according to updates from Portugal. Record newspaper claims the deal between Sporting and the Foxes includes a clause which forces the English club to pay €500k every time the striker reaches 15 appearances for them. This amount had already been paid earlier this season, as Slimani currently has 21 games. Now, with ten Premier League fixtures left plus the Champions League games, Sporting are hopeful he’ll be getting nine more matches. Leicester have already paid €30.5m for the transfer, and Record don’t seem to know the limits of this clause, although this could be dragged for a few seasons. Slimani has scored only six goals for Leicester City so far, so even though the agreed bonuses could reach up to €5m, it’s unlikely that he’ll reach any scoring objectives in his first year at the club. Should the clause go to the last couple of games of the season, and Slimani not be needed, then there’s every chance Leicester could choose to rest him and keep the €500k. http://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-get-e15m-discount-midfielder-fine-opportunity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarles Barkley Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 I hear kante has a similar one. We also pay Chelsea 500K after a certain number of Kante appearances #RudkinNegotiating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 Rudkin wouldn't have put this clause in surely? It'd be Sporting that put this in the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthefox Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 Dodgy website suggests Slimani has a high appearance fee bonus and instead of questioning the authenticity of the source Rudkin gets jumped on. More proof of this Rudkin bandwagon. 500k every 15 games? So he essentially has an appearance bonus per game of 34k. I know footballers are on silly money but somehow I doubt the credibility of this claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know footballers are on silly money but somehow I doubt the credibility of this claim. Isn't this being suggested as a payment to the club rather than the player so it isn't an appearance bonus as such. I agree Rudkin gets a slating and most of the time it isn't his fault but i never really hear anyone with contacts in the club having a good word to say about him.

Albert Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 I suppose everyone pointing the finger at Rudkin again would be praising him if we hadn't of signed Slim after this article came about saying we refused to sign him due to this clause?? Or would people be moaning because we we didn't agree to the clause and we can't seem to get transfers over the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, you would kind of hope deals would be agreed and or at least thought out well in advance. If you leave it till the last minute like we did with him then you are in a pants down situation with the selling club, agent and player bending you over.

Yh you would but I'm not naive enough to think the club didn't have other options. I'd rather the club got there number one target than bowing out of a deal because of a clause insisted on them that's a drop in the ocean to them financially in the grand scheme of things. Saying that, I wouldn't believe everything u read in the papers regarding clauses as 9 times out of 10 it's just a money hungry agent trying to generate interest in order to get a player a move or an improved contract. Demi Grey is an example in point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player we signed apart from Benny was a Walsh signing. The majority of players we sign are tracked for 2yrs+. Just because the head of recruitment leaves doesn't mean the whole scouting network collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but to be fair it isn't just Walsh who left in the last 2 years. Fingers crossed we do a bit better in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
