The clause was activated this Friday, December 20, upon arrival Vermeeren to his twentieth match with him Leipzigforcing the German club to pay the aforementioned amount to the Athletic. The Belgian started with his team in the 5-1 defeat against the Bayern Munich.
Vermeerensigned in winter 2024 from the Antwerpfailed to consolidate itself in the Athletic due to the competition and adaptation difficulties, playing only five games and 160 minutes.
This economic income, together with what was paid for the transfer, will allow the Atlético de Madrid reinforce his squad in the winter market or later in the summer, looking for a midfielder with greater participation than the one he had Vermeeren on the mattress team. These 20 million, added to the slightly more than three million euros that was already received from the transfer of the international at the beginning of this operation, would lead the colchonero team to earn a total of 23 million euros, which represents a profit compared to the 18 that Atlético paid for him Royal Antwerp to sign him a year ago now.
An income that serves to alleviate the large investment of 91.1 million euros that the mattress team made in the summer market, the highest figure in the era Simeone.
