10M when Dembele will play 50 matches. He is on 45 matches now.
10M if we qualify for a CL in 2017/18 season.
Some sources say that we have already paid 5M for 25 matches paid 5M for reaching a Champions league in 2018 season.
Other sources say that we need to qualify for a CL in each of the next 4-5 years for those 10M to be paid.
Other 20M of addons are a secret and papers think that they are linked with Dembele's performances and team's success, like he needs to score a certain amount of goals, Barca needs to win La Liga or a CL etc.
Some other sources also say that we need to pay additional 30M penalties (regardless of a regular 105M fixed and 40M in addons) if we decide to sell him before his first contract expires.
I guess that a ratio of that clause is:
If Dembele stays here for 4-5 years, he will reach majority of addons, and Borussia will get 145M in the end.
If we sell him after 1 or 2 years, Borussia would get only 105M plus 15-20M addons achieved by then, and they would lose a chance to earn all 145M.
This is why they have included this clause. So, if we sell him after 1, 2 or 3 years, we will have to pay, let's say: 105M fixed, 20M addons achieved till then and additional 30M penalty for selling him before he could have achieved all potential addons clauses.
I haven't read anything about a "penalty" anywhere in the german articles that were quoting the paper that got the leaked contract from "football leaks", they were mostly reporting this:
105M fixed fee (paid in 2 rates)
20M for games played (5M each at 25, 50, 75, 100 games)
20M split on other things (team and individual achievements)
And in case we sell him Dortmund gets the full add-ons. What exactly the last 20M consist of wasn't really clear but i guess it's mostly things that are quite easy to reach so sooner or later Dortmund will get the 145M.
