According to a report in the Swedish media, Djurgårdens IF are set for a substantial windfall after selling Lucas Bergvall to Tottenham Hotspur.
The young midfielder signed for the Premier League side during the last transfer window for an initial transfer fee of £8m.
Fotboll Direkt have reported on the extra bonuses Djurgårdens IF will bring in from the transfer of the 18-year-old. The Swedish media outlet say the Allsvenskan club will soon receive £2.5-3m from Tottenham, and they say that’s due to the player making his Premier League debut.
Whether they mean that’s already been triggered or is instead related to a full debut isn’t made clear.
The transfer fee for Bergvall could potentially rise to £16m if all the add ons are met, with some of the bonuses said to be quite achievable.
Bergvall’s first club IF Brommapojkarna will also benefit from his move to Spurs, with claims they will receive 20% of the Swede’s basic transfer fee.
This summer the Sweden international signed a five-year contract with Tottenham, reportedly worth £1.5m a season. The youngster has yet to start in the Premier League since joining, but has been involved in five of Spurs’ opening six games.
