Exclusive: Lukman Zakari To Cancel CS Sfaxien Contract After Playing Seven Competitive Matches
Published: February 24, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria U17 Lukman Zakari is back in Kaduna after his trip to Tunisia for contract talks with CS Sfaxien.
The Unity Academy starlet and his intermediaries have agreed a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 side which will start running in December 2016 when he would have attained the age of majority.
Contrary to reports, a transfer fee of $200,000 was agreed between Unity Academy and CS Sfaxien, with the Nigerian club expected to pocket the sum of $100,000 at the end of this year while the balance will be paid in another installment.
Unity Academy have inserted a clause into Zakari’s contract stipulating that they will pocket 20 percent of the transfer fees if the central defender is sold to another club before the expiration of his deal.
The 17-year-old will earn $6,000 per month in wages in his first year at CS Sfaxien and will be paid a sign on fee of $50,000.
If he manages to play seven competitive matches in his debut season, his contract will automatically be cancelled and be renegotiated.
Every week Zakari will train twice with the first team and be with the youth team of CS Sfaxien for the remaining days, and a special coach has been employed to put him through his paces.
Bear in mind that the player is still a minor and for that reason CS Sfaxien have not parted with a single cent at this moment, including agency commission and the $50,000 that is supposed to be paid to his parents.
