Paqueta joined Milan in a deal worth around €38m back in January 2020 but he never lived up to the price tag with the Rossoneri. As a result, he was sold to Lyon for a fee of around €20m one and a half years later.
As reported by Calcio e Finanza, Milan were paid a solidarity fee when the player moved from Lyon to West Ham and could be paid once again. The fee is for clubs that have developed a player between the ages of 12 and 23, which is a mechanism to protect the academies.
In Milan’s case, they would be entitled to 1% of the transfer fee and if Paqueta were to move to Man City for €80m, or £70m, then the Rossoneri would get a total of €800k. That fee will not be paid by he buyers, but rather by the selling club which is West Ham in this case.
