The length of the commitment, not the outcome of it.
The deal carries up to €10.0m in add-ons, taking the potential total to €80.0m. Add-ons are conditions, not payments — they are only owed if the conditions are met.
Newcastle retained a 15% sell-on clause, so it keeps an interest in whatever Barcelona eventually recoups.
What that buys is a separate question from what it cost. This is the price and the shape of the deal, read against every other fee LaLiga disclosed in 2026/27 — not a forecast of how the signing turns out.
