Dinamo Zagreb has finalized the transfer of Petar Sucic, who will remain at 'Maksimir' until the summer, while from next season he will play for Inter.
The young midfielder and Croatian national team player will thus achieve a transfer to one of the biggest clubs in the world after a season and a half in the first league in which he played an important role.
As a reminder, Sucic is currently injured and there is still no final confirmation on when he will return to the field, but Fabio Cannavaro and the rest of the club expect him to help them defend the championship title at the end of the season and come one step closer to direct qualification to the Champions League.
Details of the agreement
Dinamo Zagreb will receive €14 million in fixed compensation, along with €2.5 million in bonuses and 10% of any profit Inter would make by reselling Sucic at any point in his career.
One of Inter's initial offers was 12 million euros with two million in bonuses, but again the Blues managed to negotiate more favorable terms.
When it comes to bonuses (potentially €2.5 million), the following items are in question. For every 20 matches Sucic plays for Inter, Dinamo will receive half a million euros. In total, if the midfielder plays 60 matches for Inter, the Croats will earn another €1.5 million from that deal alone.
Dinamo also managed to have any match in which Sucic played less than 45 minutes counted as half an appearance. This protected them from a common trick and clause in football negotiations, in which a player is only penalized if he starts or plays half the game.
In this regard, it is very likely that Dinamo will realize a larger part of that bonus (up to 1.5 million euros in total). The remaining 1 million euros in the bonus is linked to the team's successes - Dinamo will receive 500 thousand euros if Inter becomes champion of Italy and the same amount if the club reaches at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Inter wanted the criterion for this bonus to be a minimum qualification to the semi-finals, but accepted Dinamo's condition. /Telegraph/
