Mouzakitis to Hull, €15m for 50%
Christos Mouzakitis is gone. Olympiacos collect €15m for 50% of the 19-year-old midfielder's rights, and keep the other half, the big bet on his future (1).
That is the smart part. Your club cashes in now and still owns half of a player who could get much more expensive.
Close to €20m in the bank
The academy product's move is done, and the club's share reaches roughly €20m (2). Mouzakitis came through your own academy. This is money from a player you built.
