How much did Rooney cost man you?

Answer 1

He moved for 23 million pounds, rising to 27 million pounds, (some places say that this rises to 30 million pounds, but that includes wages, and so is not a transfer fee)depending on appearances and achievements - eg United would pay Everton 1.5 million if Rooney extended his contract, and other such stipulations. A breakdown is shown below 1. Payable £10m immediately and £10m on 1 August 2005. (£20m paid) 2. Fees payable to Proactive Sports Management Limited in

relation to both the acquisition of the player and negotiation of his personal

terms. Of this sum, £1.0m is guaranteed, of which £0.5m is payable immediately

and the balance over the following 5 years in equal instalments. The remaining

£0.5m will be paid in 5 equal instalments over the duration of Rooney's contract

provided he remains registered to MU at the due dates for payment. (agents fees) 3. Contingent payments of up to £7.0m payable on the occurrence

of the following events during the next 5 years: MU - European Champions League - Winners - £1.0m

- Runners Up - £0.5m (not paid) - FAPL - Winners - £0.5m

- Runners Up - £0.25m (£0.75m paid) - FA Cup - Winners - £0.15m (not paid) Player signs an extension to his contract at MU - £1.5m (£1.5m paid) Player earns 20 England caps in competitive games whilst

an MU player - £0.5m (not paid) Player earns a further 20 England caps in competitive

games whilst an MU player - £0.5m Even if these events do not occur, Everton will receive £3.0m provided Rooney

remains registered to MU until 30th June 2007. This sum will be payable in

equal instalments of £1.0m on 1st August 2006, 2007 and 2008 if not already paid via the above incentives. (£2m paid) so United have paid 24.5 million pounds for him so far
