Solid in the cages, Kjell Scherpen won at Union Saint-Gilloise. His sporting performances come at a cost to the club.
Kjell Scherpenwho played for Brighton & Hove Albion, had only played one official match. Since his arrival at Union Saint-Gilloise, the Dutch goalkeeper has established himself as a sure value. In seven championship matches, he signed five clean sheets, for a total bonus of 5,000 euros – 1,000 euros per match without a goal conceded.
The conditions of the transfer
With his impressive size (2.06 m), Scherpen quickly established himself as a major asset of the Brussels club. His presence in the cages made us forget Anthony Moris and brings stability to the defense.
The Union spent around 2 million euros to bring him. This amount could increase depending on the team’s performance. According to Het Nieuwsblad, a bonus of 250,000 euros must be paid each time the club qualifies for the League phase of the Champions League.
A logical and assumed clause
This clause is valid as long as Scherpen is under contract with the Brussels residents. This bonus will be paid at each qualification for the Union League phase.
Management is not worried about this expense. The Champions League is big money, and Scherpen has justified every euro spent.
