Goncalo Ramos and the club’s transfer transparency

Performance‑related bonuses

If Moreira registers at least ten combined goals and assists in a season, Strasbourg will receive a one‑off €2.051.282 bonus. Starting fifteen games with a minimum of 45 minutes each triggers €1.025.641 per season, a sum that can be paid twice, totalling €5.128.205. A contract renewal would add €2.051.282, also payable twice for a maximum of €4.102.564. Reports differ on the aggregate of these bonuses, citing €6.750.000, €10 million, €14.358.974 or €14.4 million.

Milan reveals Moreira transfer details and sets cap at €67.8 million

Team achievements generate further payments: qualifying for the Champions League while Moreira reaches 2,000 Serie A minutes brings €1.025.641, whereas Europa League qualification yields €256.000. Winning the Serie A title with the same minute threshold would replace the Champions League payment with €1.538.461. The bonus for a league title is reported as €1.5 million, €2 million or €3 million.

The agreement also contains a sell‑on clause. If the future transfer fee falls below €10 million, Strasbourg receives nothing; between €10 million and €50 million they earn 10 percent of the excess, roughly €4 million. A sale between €50 million and €55 million triggers €5 million, and a €70‑million to €100 million deal yields €6.75 million. Should a subsequent transfer exceed €100 million, 25 percent of the amount above €100 million would go to Strasbourg.

Moreira, a Belgian international who has already featured for the national side under Mark van Bommel, opened his Milan scoring account against Lazio on 12 September 2026 and added a third league goal versus Lecce on 20 September 2026. After just four appearances – three in Serie A and one in the Europa League – he has recorded three goals, suggesting the performance bonuses could be activated early.

Overall, the structure of the deal illustrates Milan’s willingness to invest heavily while protecting the club with conditional payments. The potential total of €67.8 million places Moreira among the most financially significant acquisitions in recent Italian football.
