Depends whether you’re us or peterboro! They would have got 7-9 million for a striker of his quality no less! As it stands we got £1.3 million not even paid upfront with a sell on clause that’s basically worthless considering he handed in a transfer request then done his cal before being sold.
According to Transfermarket.com they have never got that for anyone
They got 8 million for assombalonga in 2014 incidentally the same year we got £5 million for a generational talent dele alli and not a player whose ceiling is the championship. They also got £10 million for Ivan Toney.
This is a misconception, partly due to spin from their owner who is a big narcissist and loves his 'king of the deal' persona. They got closer to £6mill for Assombalonga and only £5mill upfront for Toney (who went on to be a championship's record goal scorer one season later). Posh's owner has a tendency to leak the full fee they can receive
should all the add ons that are built into the deals be factored in. In reality they fees they have got, whilst still very good, aren't as astronomical as some would have you believe.
