The Sell-On Clause Comeback…
Once upon a time, in the whimsical world of football fashionistas, Manchester United were the new kids on the block trying to trade with more flair than a catwalk in Paris. But, thanks to their amazeballs ‘United tax’, they often ended up paying more for less and selling players cheaper than a half-time hotdog. Fortunately for them, they’ve now discovered the alchemy of sell-on clauses, hoping to squeeze pennies out of old deals faster than a teddy bear dispenser at a carnival.
With crimsons no longer tight around the wallet, Manchester United’s sly trick is catching on faster than a cushy hat-trick streak. City rivals showed them the money trail, making cash rain like golden goal confetti with sell-ons. Alvaro Fernandez might just be their golden ticket! With Real Madrid eyeing him like a kid with a shiny new Lego set, United are poised to reap some treasure trove bonuses from his Madrid-inspired donning.
And that’s not all, folks! Another former Red Devil, Anthony Elanga, is playing musical clubs with Newcastle’s tune trying to nab him. Notts Forest, showcasing the drama of a soap opera, kept the cash pot simmering with a £45m refusal, but £60m might be just the juicy carrot to leave their forest. And each pound dangling from that theatrical transfer tree could enrich United’s treasure chest like a Blackbeard fortune!
