The length of the commitment, not the outcome of it.
The deal carries up to €5.0m in add-ons, taking the potential total to €80.6m. Add-ons are conditions, not payments — they are only owed if the conditions are met.
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 the Premier League disclosed in 2025/26 — not a forecast of how the signing turns out.
