In what's blatantly been done after the investigation into Utd's transfer dealing's Arsenal have made an official statement of just how much they're paying for Reyes. This has NEVER happened before:
From arsenal.com
'Arsenal Holdings plc confirms that its subsidiary Arsenal Football Club has signed Spanish international José Antonio Reyes from Sevilla Futbol Clube on a four and half year contract; completion of the transfer is subject to the player undergoing a medical and his registration with the FA and the FA Premier League.
The initial consideration is €15 million (£10.5m), of which €10 million is payable immediately. Additional consideration of up to €9.5 million may become payable, subject to various appearance and performance criteria being satisfied. Arsenal does not expect any of the above sums, other than the initial €10 million fee, to become payable in its current financial year.
The directors of Arsenal Holdings plc take full responsibility for the contents of this announcement.'
That's actually bloody good value - 7 million up front, another 4 next year, the rest in installments afterwards.
Great bit of business AGAIN by Dein and the boys. His maximum price is therefore about 17million....
