Four cash installments:
* €5m upfront
* €3m by 4th January 2010
* €7m by June 30th 2010
* €5m by June 30th 2011.
Base transfer fee = €20m/£18m
Further Add ons include:
* €300k for every year Liverpool qualify for the CL from 2010/11 to 2014/15.
* €250k every time the player reaches 35 appearancs; 70 appearances; 105 appeances and then 140 appearances.
* €1m the first time Liverpool either wins the Premier League or Champions League by 30 June 2014.
* 5% of any future transfer fee paid to Roma.
ANALYSIS (all figures converted to pounds using today's conversion rate)
* If Liverpool qualify for the Cl every year from 2010 to 2015, a further £1.3m will become payable. How likely is it this will happen? Liverpool have featured in the CL in 8 of the last 9 seasons. There is no reason to think this will not continue.
POTENTIAL EXTRA COST: £1.3m (Based on CL qualification every year)
* If Aquilani reaches 140 appearances, a further £900k will become payable. Is this possible? For Aquilani to achieve that figure, he would need to make a measly 28 appearances each season for 5 years. This is clearly achievable.
POTENTIAL EXTRA COST: £900k
* If Liverpool win the league or CL by June 2014, a further £900k per trophy will become payable. Is it possible that Liverpool might win the league and CL in the next 5 years? Absolutely.
POTENTIAL EXTRA COST: £1.8m
* 5% of any future transfer fee to be paid to Roma. As an example: If Aquilani stays for the full 5 years of his contract he will be 30 years old. If he then leaves, it is unlikely that Liverpool will recoup the initial outlay (due to his age). So - if we conservatively estimate that Liverpool receive half the original price, that would net the club £9m.
POTENTIAL EXTRA COST: £450k (5% of 9m)
* Using the fact that only €5m has been paid so far as some kind of excuse/way to manipulate net spend is not fair or accurate. The total amount of the base fee will still have to be paid in less than 2 years!
CONCLUSION
The following is definite:
* Liverpool will pay £18m for Aquilani.
The following is highly probable:
* £2.2m will become payable as a result CL qualification/appearance levels
* £450k (or whetever fee we get for him) will become payable when Aquilani is sold. (This figure is just for the sake of debate - I'm not saying this WILL happen!)
The following is less probable but still possible:
* £1.8m will become payable as a result of winning the league/CL
POTENTIAL TOTAL COST OF TRANSFER - £22.45m
* €5m upfront
* €3m by 4th January 2010
* €7m by June 30th 2010
* €5m by June 30th 2011.

Xabi Alonso completes Real Madrid move
Xabi Alonso has passed a medical and completed his move to Real Madrid.

The Spain international midfielder has signed a four-year contract worth about £95,000 a week, ending one of the summer’s longest-running transfer sagas.
The £30 million fee represents a significant victory for Benitez in the first major sale he has overseen since signing his new contract, which included significantly increased powers in the transfer market.
He had refused to lower his asking price for the 27 year-old despite concerted pressure from the Spanish side, who remained adamant until as recently as Tuesday that they would not pay more than £27 million, including a variety of supplementary clauses, for Alonso.
That had led to a month of deadlock between the two parties, although the dynamic of the negotiation was changed dramatically by Alonso’s decision to hand in a formal transfer request last Wednesday, as well as the expiration in July of a sell-on clause which would have entitled his former club, Real Sociedad, to 20 per cent of any profit on his £10.5million move to Anfield in 2004.
Liverpool’s managing director, Christian Purslow, met his Madrid counterpart, Jose Angel Sanchez, in Barcelona on Sunday, describing the meeting as “positive”.
It is believed Sanchez intimated in the Juan Carlos I hotel that Madrid were prepared to match Benitez’s demands and the Spanish side returned on Tuesday with an improved offer.
That is understood to have guaranteed £27 million - €30 million euros, their previous limit - up front, with a further £3 million payable should Alonso and Madrid achieve a certain amount of success in La Liga and the Champions League in either of the first two years of his time at the Bernabeu, matching the amount Benitez was prepared to accept.
Such a figure and such a structure for the deal represents a compromise on both sides, but Benitez will be the happier party.
Florentino Perez, the Spanish club’s president, had been unwilling to pay what he viewed as an inflated fee for a player he sees as a cost, rather than an investment capable of reimbursing the club for his transfer through shirt sales.
Pressure from Real manager Manuel Pellegrini and technical director Jorge Valdano to land Alonso has told in the end.
The Basque’s arrival takes Perez’s outlay since regaining his position to about £220 million, thanks to the astronomical fees paid for Kaka, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.
