REVEALED: Arsenal defeat at Brentford cost three points - and €​1M!

Arsenal's defeat at Brentford not only cost three points - but also €1m!

Globoesport reports as part of the package that saw the defender join the club from Flamengo in June 2020, the Brazilian club have a series of appearance-related add-ons.

They report that as he chalked up his 20th appearance for the club, a clause was triggered, leaving Arsenal with a bill of €1m (£850,000).

The payments won't stop there however, the article adds that Flamengo are in line for another million for every 10 appearances he registers, up to a total of €8m.

Those clauses, along with an additional payment this summer in the region of €5m could see the total outlay reach €16m before his contract expires.
