CANDH EXCLUSIVE – Sakho deal: No escape clauses
ClaretandHugh has established that the only clauses involved in the deal are appearance-based cash additions to his former club and that no ‘release triggers’ are included.
Fears had been arising that the five goal striker’s deal may have release clauses included similar to those contained in Mo Diame’s contract.
In that case the midfielder would have been allowed to listen and move on should any bid of over £3.5 million been made.
However no such deal was done with Sakho’s advisers although the Hammers have done a deal could rise to a maximum of £7 million should the player make around 140 appearances.
A top insider told us exclusively: “There are no escape clauses at all. Details of contracts are confidential but I can asure you there are no release triggers. It’s a great bit of business by the club.”
