Transfer market: ESTAC cashes in on Bryan Mbeumo's move to Man United

Recently, Bryan Mbeumo was officially unveiled as a Manchester United player, joining from Brentford. A transfer that brings significant benefits to ESTAC.

After a long saga lasting several weeks, Bryan Mbeumo has signed with Manchester United for five seasons, with an additional year as an option. Having scored twenty goals and provided eight assists in the Premier League, he has become the sixth most expensive signing in the history of the Red Devils, who shelled out €81 million to secure his services. This transfer is a real windfall for ESTAC Troyes, his formative club.

According to information from l’Est Eclair, the ESTAC management had negotiated a 10% sell-on clause on the capital gain when he left for Brentford. At that time, the forward was sold for €6.6 million following Brentford's promotion to the Premier League. In total, ESTAC is set to receive €7.4 million, to which an additional €2 million in training compensation will be added for the Troyes club's board. This is a significant amount for the Ligue 2 side's coffers.
