His contract expired this Summer, he did Brighton a favor to get a fee, Caicedo still had 2 years left and was on wages. Big difference

I don't think his contract was expiring this summer, I may be wrong though

And The Athletic has always been reporting his fee around 45-55m,

I need to see some receipts.

I have a hard time believing Brighton would extend his contract this season with a 35m release clause. Same Brighton that also extended Caicedo recently and wants 80m for him

BBC saying 55M, Fab saying 35M. Think the truth is somewhere in the middle, maybe 40-45 which is still amazing business.

Alexis’ agent is sharp. Inserted a reasonable release clause in his contract and Brighton will still make like 4-5x what they paid for him.

Players need to start getting smarter with release clauses. Let the club save on the transfer fee and do more in salaries. Kim-Min Jae and Haaland were particularly smart to insert relatively low release clauses in their contracts, €45M and €80M, respectively.

Makes sense why they let Maldini go

Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Argentinos Juniors.

The 20-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal and will be loaned back to the Argentinian club for the remainder of the season.

Yeah but didn't he sign a contract extension at some point this season which extended it until 2025 with an option of another year

Think it was just before the world Cup

I was at the price we have "apparently" got him for l, I didn't think we would get him that cheap
I thought it would be at least 45 to 50 mil

Just means we got more money to spend on more midfielders

Yes that’s the point, when he signed the extension he was gonna be a free agent in the Summer, he did them a solid so they could recoup a fee and that’s why the clause is so low.

How much money is Messi making at Inter Miami? Is it a lot less than what the arabs were offering?
I wonder whi ronaldo didnt see the light and went to saudi arabia?
