Wasn't it David Ornstein correcting himself that the deal was £47.5M with no add-ons?

And? Means nothing really. For every Ornstein you have a Matt Law that claims a slightly different number, and for every Matt you have a Jack, and for all three you have a Romano who claims it in Euros just to confuse things.
Pick the lowest if you want to, pick the highest, or split it down the middle. All good either way.

I would bet significant stakes that he is wrong. A deal of this size with a flat out fee and no add-ons whatsoever? Yeah right.

Dont understand why you would have ‘add ons’ with a 27 YO full international, let alone one going to a direct competitor. What would you be adding on? Surely not them winning stuff, or number of appearances, or goals scored, so I can’t see why you’d bother?I would bet significant stakes that he is wrong.

I don’t know. If add-ons are that common, and it was a guess, you would think he would guess a contract with them in but he went out of his way to stress there weren’t any.I would bet significant stakes that he is wrong. A deal of this size with a flat out fee and no add-ons whatsoever? Yeah right.
It wasn’t that long ago we never heard of add-ons and it makes me wonder if it’s just that social media have got into the habit of reporting them now whereas in the past nobody was bothered and just wanted to know the guaranteed fee.

Thought that myself at points, but what was the last deal to be done without add-ons? they help everyone. Chelsea get to claim a lower initial figure, we get a value we are looking for on a player that in the last year of his contract is hard to be stubborn about a few million here and there. They could be anything, performances, statistics etc. Genuinely can't think of a transfer claimed to be a flat out fee in the last number of years.

Possibly. Too many people have claimed otherwise with Raz for Ornestein to somehow be the only one 'right' on it, particularly given he himself has been inconsistent on it. Kind of a side note to my point anyway.
