Shamrock Rovers due bumper pay-out as Southampton to sign Man City keeper Bazunu

Shamrock Rovers will be due a bumper pay-out from Manchester City goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu's move to Southampton.

The Sunday World says Bazunu's switch is set to bring Shamrock Rovers' earnings from the sale of their star academy product across the €3m mark.

Bazunu travelled to Southampton today to complete a medical after Southampton agreed to pay a fee of £12m (€13.9m) that will rise to £16m (€18.6m).

Shamrock Rovers negotiated a sell-on clause in the region of 15 per cent when they agreed to sell Bazunu to City in 2018.

Bazunu success as also seen Shamrock earn bonuses, with the initial €500,000 deal improved by the activation of a clause for senior competitive international appearances, which generated another high six-figure sum.
