Winston Biscuit Being said that there was a clause in Andre Silva's contract which said that if Frankfurt accepted an offer of more than €40M then Jorge Mendes would receive a €10M lump some plus 15%(ish) of the transfer fee.
With that in mind they ended up negotiating the transfer fee down with Leipzig and have agreed to accept a a bid of €23M as that is all they would have ended up taking anyway from the higher bid that Leipzig were willing to make.
Yep stupid situation but Frankfurt do seem to have a knack these days at finding very good strikers and selling on for a decent profit - shame they mucked up CL qualification again this season as they would have been able to keep Silva for at least one more year but am sure they'll unearth another star.
