Janssen Update: Monterrey Medical Monday in Mexico

Janssen moving to Mexico

Well, having initially turned down Mexican side Monterrey, hoping for a move to Real Betis, the Dutch international looks to be off to the biggest side in Mexico to revive his career.

As reported a week ago, they refused to give up the chase for him while European clubs either couldn't pay him enough wages or didn't want to take a gamble on a player who has broken his leg and not had a great deal of football in 2 years.

His salary at Tottenham is £1.78 million (€1.99m - $2.23m) annually which equates to £34,000-a-week (€37,944 - $42,509).

A medical planned for Monday will see us get the money it would have cost us to keep him.

A rudimentary look at Janssen costs to Spurs annually.

Vincent Janssen
Costs
£17m over a 4-year term
17 divided by 4 = £4.25m-a-year
£1.78m wages annually
Very roughly then, Janssen costs Spurs £6.03m annually
Income
Fenerbache loan fee was £2.25m plus they pay his wages for a season so he only cost the club £2m that season. We won't get into depreciation.

Janssen has one year left on his contract so would cost Spurs £6.03m and Daniel Levy was asking for between £7.14m and £8.03m for him, which covers our costs for another year.

I believe we have agreed a £7 million (€7.79m - $8.75m) fee that covers that cost because we are selling Janssen he is entitled to the wages for the remaining year on his contract.

That should give you an idea of how a transfer fee is calculated in this situation, you don't just pluck a figure out of thin air.
