The pepineros kept 50% of the soccer player until July 15, 2017. That day they sold 40% of the Ghanaian rights to the colchoneros for six million euros, but south of the capital they still kept the remaining 10% before the possible revaluation and departure of the midfielder from Atlético de Madrid. The forecast has come true today.

Without having played for a minute with the first team of the Leganes, Thomas has left eleven million euros in the coffers of Butarque and thus becomes the fourth player who has generated the most income for the club after In Nesyri (20 million), Braithwaite (18 million) and Diego Rico (15 million).

He Leganes he always kept 50% of his rights knowing that he was a pearl of great potential. I was only 19 then. He was a juvenile.

After two assignments to Almeria and Mallorca, he Athletic decided in 2015 to execute the purchase of the rest of the player's property. He Leganes He offered facilities and proposed a certain period of time for the colchoneros to execute the payment of the transfer in exchange for retaining 10% of the property. He Athletics I agree.

“They had a period of 24 months to acquire 40% of their rights for six million euros and they executed it on July 15, 2017, just the last day they had to do so. Furthermore, 10% of Thomas still belongs to Leganes. If there is a future sale of Thomas, 10% of this operation will be for the Lega ”, he made clear Felipe Moreno to AS in that interview in which he revealed his strategy.

Unchanged since then, since 2017, the Leganes will add the income of Thomas to a 2020 fateful in sports, but fruitful in terms of revenue.
