In today’s game and especially if you’re a Celtic fan you will know the ins and outs of the current transfer system when it comes to add-ons and sell-on fees etc.
Gone are the days when you just sold a player and that was that, everyone is looking for a future cut and it makes good business sense if you’re selling a hot commodity.
With that in mind, SunSport reported this week linking Jozo Simunovic with a £5m move away from Celtic to Lille has potentially flagged up a large chunk of any fee going to his former club.
Celtic purchased the defender from Dinamo Zagreb and according to the Scotsman the player has a sell-on fee attached and are quoting up to 25% could be on the table for the Croatian side should Jozo make the move.
The hidden transfer clause doesn’t become an issue until you go to sell a player. Right now, £5m for Jozo minus any sell-on fee would do more harm than good.
