Evanilson’s brace over West Ham United on Saturday has activated a clause in his transfer deal from Porto in which Bournemouth must pay the Portuguese club an additional €2.5 million.
That’s according to the publication O Jogo, which has reported that the overall transfer has reached €39.7 million, while it could could rise still further.

The striker joined last summer for a fixed fee of €37 million, plus €10 million in performance-related bonuses. Of these, is €2.5 million is paid to Porto each time Bournemouth avoids relegation.
There is also €200,000 sent to the club for each block of 15 matches with over 45 minutes played and €100,000 for each senior international appearance by Evanilson where he plays more than 45 minutes.
Additionally, €2 million will be sent to Porto if Bournemouth qualifies for the Europa League, provided Evanilson plays at least 45 minutes in at least half of those games. In total, the bonuses could reach €11.5 million on top of the initial fee.
