This was mentioned earlier in this thread and is probably accurate:
Would imagine if they agree to sell will be for a decent profit so we will receive a nice windfall. However does seem an odd move for him.
Don’t think there was any sell on clause only add ons which were achieved
Benzema is leaving I think. Ollie was mentioned as his replacement.
Why unlikely not every player we have sold have sell ons and I can’t find anywhere official where it states we have.
Maybe we squeezed more out of Villa by excluding a sell on clause.
Hope we have but the fact that Banana has said that doesn’t make it true.Villa forums have said there is no sell on evidently
If I said it then it would be correct. Or would have been correct at the time (Villa may have bought it out in the meantime for example).

Player has to be under 23 when transferred for training compensation to apply.Meanwhile, what about training compensation on international transfers? This is being discussed on the Exeter forum.
This provides payments to clubs where the player trained between the ages of 12 and (importantly for Brentford) 23. Ollie joined Brentford at age 21 (and a half).
It seems the total payments are 5% of the international transfer fee (I had thought it was 1%). If right this would mean Exeter get around 4% and Brentford around 1%.
Small beer for Brentford and a sell on clause would be much better but every little helps! Anyone know how this all works in practice?

They go off to Saudi the league takes less out of their bodies allowing them to play beyond 35 earning big money.
I wonder if Ivan had some cosy chats with him, whilst they both weren’t playing for England at the World Cup?
Just seems out of character although a tad like Ivan unlike players who break into premier league squads in their late teens / early 20s and therefore amass 10 to 15 years of premier league monies that is not the case with Ollie and suspect his early years salary with Villa were at lower end of their pay spectrum. Hence his pension pot may well not be enough to last him 50 plus years and I don’t see him Going into the management or coaching side of football. He may well be thinking now what is his career outside of football and concluded there isn’t really one and hence go to Saudi for five years and not have to be concerned about answering that question.
Crazy how we we're disgusted with the
but it's ok for him to do it because he's not doing it to us.Watkins is on £6 million/year so will already be set for life. Don't blame him for wanting big Saudi money though.
No, it’s just as disgusting. Has Ollie deleted all mention of Villa from his socials yet?Crazy how we we're disgusted with the
I think there's also the realisation that, even if he does get picked for the England squad, he's only going to get on the pitch for 5 minutes so any ambition there has gone.
And Ivan has shown him that playing in Saudi Arabia is not a bar to any remaining England ambitions he may have.
Footballers more and more becoming hired guns focused on earning a living rather than any sense of loyalty…. Probably having seen how clubs treat players over the years happy to kick them into touch when it suits under age to professional level. I suspect this focuses the mind
If that’s what’s worrying him, he might want to ask some questions of his financial advisors.
He's been on good money for nearly ten years and life changing for the last 6. If he's not set for life then he's either been very frivolous or badly advised or both
