Inter Milan have brought in €4 million after Sevilla bought 40% of the playing rights of midfielder Lucien Agoume.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan sold midfielder Lucien Agoume to Sevilla last summer.
The La Liga club paid a fee of just €4 million to take the midfielder off of Inter’s hands.
There was a catch, however. The Nerazzurri retained 50% of Agoume’s playing rights as part of the deal.
Therefore, Inter were entitled to a sell-on fee equal to half of any transfer fee that Sevilla are to receive for Agoume in the future.
Inter Cash In €4M As Sevilla Activate Lucien Agoume Clause
However, Sevilla had the option to buy an additional 40% of Agoume’s playing rights.
This would take the Andalusian club’s total ownership of the Frenchman’s rights to 90%. Therefore, the sell-on fee that Inter would receive for Agoume would be 10% rather than 50%.
And Sevilla have confirmed that they have activated this option on Agoume.
Therefore, the Corriere dello Sport report, Inter have received a fee of €4 million from the Spaniards, and have relinquished all but 10% of the midfielder’s playing rights.
