Islam Slimani’s good start at Leicester City is certainly good news for Sporting. The Portuguese club are now sure they’ll get most of the bonuses included in the transaction.
A Bola has an article today explaining most of these figures. They claim that the deal was initially done for €30m. Leicester have already paid €17.5m and should be depositing the other €12.5m in June 2017.
So there are €3.5m in bonuses left, which are for a number of appearances that Slimani will make for the Foxes. That’s what Sporting are so confident about, since the Algerian has shown he’s good enough to be a Premier League player for years.
A Bola learnt this information from a source close to the English club, who said these bonuses will be paid every time Slimani reaches ’20 or 25′ appearances for Leicester. It’s a bit confusing, as they can’t say the amount paid by this number of games or how far can it go. In any case, it won’t go over the €3.5m.
As Slimani’s contract with Leicester runs until 2021, the newspaper claims it will be easy to hit these objectives. The striker has four goals and two assists in his first ten games for the Foxes.
