Accordingly, a transfer fee of 3,350,000 euros and a conditional bonus of 300,000 euros will be paid to the player’s former club.”
“A contract has been signed with the football player until the end of the 2025/2026 season, and our company has the option to extend it until the end of the 2027/2028 season.”
