Milan confirm Diego Moreira deal; Chelsea get sell-on clause

AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Diego Moreira from Strasbourg on Wednesday. Ben Jacobs has revealed that the package is €50m plus a further €21m in largely achievable add-ons.

The reporting adds that Strasbourg have inserted a sell-on clause with a minimum guaranteed payout on any future sale, while Chelsea will also benefit from a sell-on built into Moreira’s move to Italy.

It is described as a record outgoing for Strasbourg, underlining the scale of the transfer agreed between the French club and Milan.

For Chelsea, the inclusion of a sell-on clause means the Premier League side could receive a percentage of any fee if Milan decide to sell Moreira in the future. The reporting does not specify whether that mechanism would apply to the full future fee or to profit only, a distinction that can materially affect the size of a later payout.

Precise sell-on percentages and contract particulars have not been disclosed in the reporting. With the add-ons characterised as largely attainable, the structure implies Milan expect a significant portion of the contingent elements to trigger over time, while Strasbourg’s minimum guaranteed payout on any onward sale ensures they are positioned to bank at least some future income regardless of the eventual transfer value.
