Thought it was £15.5m according to the accounts published? I do agree re Orta though, Rutter signing is a prime example of why we are where we are. £34m!!!!!! and he can’t get near starting 11. He’s got talent but not what we needed at this time. It should have gone on a good left/right back or a quality midfielder
The £15.5m was the transfer fee to Leipzig. The £24.5m is to JKA for loss of earnings from the 5 year contract that was agreed. I'd assume the fee includes some compensation because if not, and it's just lost wages, that amount equates to £95k a week over 5 years. Surely, we weren't going to pay him that. It makes the Seth Johnson deal look good value
