...Dan Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Apparently looking to sell Lacazette to bring him in.
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 2, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 2, 2021 Makes sense from a RB sporting pov, they desperately needed a replacement for Werner last season. Feel bad for Frankfurt though, hopefully they fleeced em good on the fee.

Yes, reports say that RB Leipzig have paid Frankfurt a 23 million euros(which is about £20 million) for the transfer fee, however, performance bonuses could see the transfer fee rise to 30 million euros. Either way, the transfer fee is still way below his actual transfer valuation in today's market. RB Leipzig have got a bit of a bargain here to be honest.

Why get so little from a key player, especially to a team IN YOUR LEAGUE? This just doesn't compute in my simple brain.

To put it in perspective, Dortmund's jaws hit the floor when they realised United were still willing to pay in excess of £70m for a player during a time of reduced income from COVID. Few clubs will be spending much.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 3, 2021 Its certainly peculiar if that fee is true. Theres no way that amount of money has anywhere near the same impact for them then as Silva would.

The reason is simple - there was a certain option in Silva's contract that made this transfer possible. Frankfurt didn't have to sell, nor did they want to - they simply had no choice.

No details were given, but Krösche confirmed that Silva used a clause in his contract to make this transfer happen. It's probably somewhat complicated, considering the reports that RB actually paid around 35m for him, with Frankfurt keeping 23m and the rest of it going to Silva and his agents. This was apparently part of the Silva-Rebic swap deal back then, when the player and the agency agreed to make it happen with little compensation in exchange for higher share of the future deal (a sell-on clause of sorts).
Rick Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Losing your 28 goal scoring main striker for 20m to a team just above you is tragic, though. Frankfurt should have demanded much more, even in these times.
