Kicker: Because Kapier and his agent gave up their transfer share, the transfer fee was reduced to 52 million euros

August 30 According to the "Kicker", in Kapier and his agent gave up the share ratio they should have obtained from the transfer, which led to a transfer to Arsenal.

The Athletic reported late at night that the news had reached a comprehensive agreement in Capier's deal for Arsenal, and the news was later confirmed by other media. According to reports, Arsenal will pay Leverkusen a transfer fee of €52 million, and Leverkusen will also retain a 10% second transfer share.

Although Leverkusen denied reaching an agreement soon, news about the agreement seemed to have been leaked from Arsenal, which may be Arsenal's final offer, and Leverkusen is expected to accept it. Therefore, the deal is expected to settle soon.

In Capier's contract originally had a termination fee of 60 million euros, and Leverkusen has always insisted that this amount is unwilling to give in. Although Arsenal will eventually sign In Capier for 52 million euros, the cost behind it may not be less than 60 million euros.

The key to the transaction was that Kapier and his agent gave up the share of the transfer they should have obtained from the transfer. If calculated at a rate of 10%, they gave up about 6 million euros. Because of this, the transfer amount was only shown to be 52 million euros.

As the players gave up this part of their income, the total transfer cost was reduced, which also affected the second transfer share income of Incapier's former club Taleres. Taleres retained a 20% share of the resale profit when he sold Incapier to Leverkusen in 2021.

Although the deal has not been officially finalized as late Friday night, Leverkusen has basically got what he wants. Even if the termination clause with the surface transfer amount is less than EUR 60 million, after exempting and reducing the share of various proportions, the actual amount Leverkusen obtained is about the same as the income he will obtain after triggering the termination clause.

Arsenal will pay a €6 million loan fee first, and the remaining fees will be paid after the buyout clause is activated in 2026. Although the buyout clause is selective, it will almost certainly translate into mandatory in 2026. The buyout conditions will depend on an event that will basically certainly happen, such as Arsenal completing relegation.
