The move from national player Karim Adeyemi to the Bundesliga soccer team Borussia Dortmund is also financially worthwhile for the Bavarian regional league team SpVgg Unterhaching.
When the striker was transferred to Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2018, the club contractually concluded a resale clause and now receives a fixed payment of over six million euros with the option of two performance-related tranches of around one million euros each.
In addition, the game association could participate in transfer proceeds if Adeyemis were resold by BVB to a third party, as the club announced on Tuesday evening.
Adeyemi played in the Unterhachinger junior division between 2012 and 2018 before he went to Salzburg and made his breakthrough there.
Borussia announced on Tuesday that Adeyemi had been signed by Austrian champions Salzburg.
The 20-year-old forward has been given a five-year contract there, replacing Erling Haaland, who will join Manchester City.
Both clubs agreed in principle on a transfer, the last contract details are still to be clarified.
BVB should receive a fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros for the Norwegian, but there was no official information about the transfer fee for Adeyemi.
According to media reports, it should amount to 30 million euros plus bonuses.
The SpVgg was relegated from the 3rd division to the fourth division in the previous season and is fifth in the table there.
