FOOTBALL
Sell-On
The academy that trained a player can earn a cut of the transfers that follow.
African voices on matchday and the business of the game: transfers, academies, agents and club money.
- Format
- A weekly video podcast, on YouTube and podcast apps.
- Subject
- The week in football, and the money behind it.
- The name
- With a sell-on clause, a club that sells a player keeps a share of that player’s next transfer fee. We follow the money the same way.
We cover four parts of the money in football.
- Transfers
- Fees, add-ons, and the clauses clubs write to keep earning after a sale.
- Academies
- The academies that train African players, and the money they earn when a player moves to Europe.
- Agents
- The people who represent players, and the fees they charge.
- Club money
- A club’s income, its wage bill and its debts.
