The length of the commitment, not the outcome of it.
The deal carries up to €3.0m in add-ons, taking the potential total to €66.0m. Add-ons are conditions, not payments — they are only owed if the conditions are met.
Bournemouth retained a 20% sell-on clause, so it keeps an interest in whatever PSG 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 Ligue 1 disclosed in 2025/26 — not a forecast of how the signing turns out.
