Brentford set to pay bonus to club for player performances – Further details emerge about finances
Mikkel Damsgaard has been one of Brentford’s best players this season.
The Dane has played 27 games in the Premier League and has racked up ten assists, scoring two goals as well.
The ex-Sampdoria player is the joi
It now seems as if Damsgaard’s performances could see Brentford pay a bonus to Sampdoria.
ClubDoria46 have noted that the Italian club earned a fee of €13.5m plus bonuses in the summer of 2022 but a clause in the deal means that the London club have to pay €500k to Sampdoria on his 40th appearance as a starter.
That appearance came against Everton. On top of that, Brentford will also have to pay Sampdoria €250k now that he has contributed to at least ten goals in the season.
It doesn’t end there as the clause means Thomas Frank’s side will pay a fee of €500k whenever Damsgaard hits 20 appearances, extending to the 120th appearance. Within that period, a further €250k will be paid if the 24-year-old contributes to 20 goals in a single season.
Brentford won’t mind that too much, especially if Damsgaard keeps impressing and helps the Bees finish higher up in the table.
