What percentage of any fee we get will Leeds get?
I realise this is posted in jest, but if White were sold to PSG (or any other foreign club) Southampton would be entitled to compensation too.

Whoosh!

Would they? They released him as a 16 year old, so I can’t see why they’d be due a penny.
Training compensation and solidarity payments. Under certain conditions clubs that have contributed to a players development are entitled to payments when the player is sold or signs their first professional contract. In Ben White's case I believe we may have had to pay some training compensation to Southampton when he signed his first professional contract with us. Additionally Southampton would be due solidarity payments if we sold Ben to a team outside of English football.

AZGull will be able to confirm but I am pretty sure that if you get released from a club, any future club has no obligation.
If Southampton had offered him a contract, he turned it down and then signed for us, they would be due compensation and some future add ons.

I'm pretty certain that the fact Southampton released him doesn't stop them being entitled to some compensation but will reduce the amount payable to them. From what is written here (https://kennethrusso.com/training-compensation-and-solidarity-payments/) Southampton would be entitled to between 1%-1.5% of the transfer fee (depending on what Ben's football passport shows for the season of his 16th birthday), this only applies if Ben is sold to a club outside of the English league system.
Have we become a selling club?
The players who are most likely to attract big money are still with us, and signed on long contacts aren't they?
I'm thinking Dunk, Bissouma and White here.
I confess to losing track of football in the last year though, so I may be missing something.
Since when have long contracts mattered ?
It's funny, Stoke fans didn't rate Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting at all. Since leaving them he's played for PSG and Bayern Munich.

Yeah, I only just picked up on this week whilst watching some CL games. Who'd have guessed Choupo-Moting? How much did Stoke get?
Why on earth would Stoke have agreed to cancel his contract? He was contracted to them for another two years, so would have had some transfer value - even if not very much, I'm sure Stoke would have needed it.I don’t believe Stoke got anything when he joined PSG, he had two years left on a three year deal but I think his contract was cancelled by mutual consent to clear the way for him to join PSG on a free. I’m guessing Stoke didn’t want his wages in the Championship anymore than Choupo-Moting wanted to play in the second tier of English football.
