Since Sporting released this week a financial report of their recent transfers, the Portuguese media has been looking for all unknown details of those moves.
That’s why newspaper Record now brings a piece about Youssef Chermiti’s sale to Everton, showing the Lions have the chance to bring him back in the future.
According to the document, Sporting have the ‘right of first refusal’. That means that once the Toffees get offers for Chermiti and they feel they will accept them, the Lisbon club must be warned and given the chance to match them.
The report claims that the Toffees spent €12.5m to sign Chermiti, with potential other €2.5m in bonuses. There’s also been a payment of €1.2m on commissions.
Chermiti is still working his way up at Everton. Since his arrival, he made six appearances, but only really had 29 minutes in the Premier League, and has been mostly used in the final minutes of matches. The attacker is still 19, though, so there’s a long time for him to develop.
