Juventus will also receive around €5.9m from the sale of the Spain international, as they are entitled to a 10% cut of his sell-on fee after a clause that the Bianconeri negotiated at the time of his move away from Turin last summer.
However, Juventus’s decision to greenlightHuijsen’s sale to Bournemouth for a fee of €15.2m plus €3m in bonuses less than a year ago has drawn widespread criticism, particularly given that they havealready committed to spending up to €24m on Lloyd Kelly as a replacement.
