Everton, reinforcement in defense: O’Brien arrives from Olympique Lyon, the figures of the operation

Jake O’Brien is about to leave Olympique Lyon to fly to England. The Irish giant is on the verge of joining Everton for a fee of around 26 million euros. A sum that OL should not see in full due to several clauses tied to their central defender. According to Sky Sports Newsin fact, Crystal Palace benefit from a 25% sell-on clause for the Irishman and should therefore receive over 6 million euros from the player’s sale

And it doesn’t stop there. Cork City are expected to recoup another sum from the deal as a training fee for the 23-year-old defender. Despite these losses, however, O’Brien’s sale will be, whatever happens, a good deal for OL who bought him for less than a million euros last summer from Crystal Palace.
