Chelsea’s Continued Investment: Another £5.5 Million
While the initial transfer fee for Santos was substantial considering his experience, Joel Silva reveals that Chelsea has made another payment installment towards securing his services.
Payment Details and Player Rights
Silva’s report indicates that Vasco, the selling club, has received approximately €6.5 million, with Santos entitled to 30% of this sum, roughly equivalent to 11 million reais.
