Big line for West ham: How much West Ham could pay in total to sign Mateus Fernandes as bid lined up

 

How Much Could West Ham Pay in Total?

 

If an official bid or serious transfer talk does surface, the breakdown usually includes:

 

1. Base Transfer Fee

 

The amount paid upfront to Mateus Fernandes’ current club. For instance, if reports stated £15 million, that’s the starting point.

 

 

 

2. Add-ons and Bonuses

 

These can be structured based on performance metrics like:

 

Appearances (e.g., additional £2 million if he plays 50 matches)

 

Goals or assists targets

 

International caps or awards

 

Club achievements (e.g., promotion, European qualification)

 

 

These can add anywhere from £1–5 million (or more) depending on the player’s profile.

 

 

 

3. Agent or Intermediary Fees

 

Agents typically charge a percentage of the deal. For example, a 10–15% fee on a £15 million deal could be £1.5–2.25 million.

 

 

 

4. Wages and Signing-On Fee

 

A new contract might include:

 

A signing-on bonus (e.g., £1–3 million)

 

Weekly wages structured over several years

 

 

 

 

 

Hypothetical Example (For Illustration Only)

 

If we assume:

 

Base fee: £15 million

 

Add-ons: £3 million (performance-related)

 

Agent fees: £2 million

 

Signing-on bonus: £2 million

 

Plus initial wages (prorated or advanced): maybe £5 million

 

 

This rough calculation suggests West Ham could end up investing around £27–30 million in total for the player.
