Brentford to bank £600,000 from Mawson deal




Brentford are due £600,000 from Fulham’s £15m deal to sign ex-Bees defender Alfie Mawson from Swansea.

Brentford are owed 40% of a sell-on fee agreed by Barnsley when the Yorkshire club sold him to Swansea in 2016.

That sell-on clause entitled Barnsley to 15% of any profit above £5m Swansea made on Mawson, meaning the Tykes are now set to receive £1.5m following his move to Fulham.

Part of that sum will go to Brentford under the terms of the compensation deal agreed seven months after Mawson joined Barnsley when his contract at Griffin Park expired in 2015.
