A clause in Liverpool's 2019 agreement to sell Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth could result in the club receiving nearly £10 million if he transfers to Tottenham.
Solanke has been identified as a potential target for Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou expressing a preference for a true No. 9 who aligns with the team's physical and technical requirements.
The Athletic reports that the striker's contract includes a £65 million release clause, which only select clubs can trigger.
Although the specific clubs are not disclosed, it is assumed that they would be among England's top teams, likely including Tottenham as one of the 'big six'.
Liverpool's sale of Solanke to Bournemouth included a sell-on clause, entitling them to 20 percent of any future profit.
With Liverpool having received approximately £19 million from the initial Bournemouth deal, activating the release clause this summer would mean a fifth of the £46 million surplus goes to Liverpool.
Therefore, if Tottenham agrees to the £65 million fee for Solanke, Liverpool would receive £9.2 million from the profit.
This sell-on fee could be among the highest in football history, rivaling Chelsea's reported £18 million from Tino Livramento's transfer from Southampton to Newcastle last year.
Liverpool has already secured £4.8 million from two transactions involving former players during this transfer window.
Luis Alberto's move from Lazio to Al-Duhail SC netted £2.5 million, and Kamil Grabara's transfer from Copenhagen to Wolfsburg brought in £2.3 million for Liverpool.
Tottenham is weighing up Solanke alongside Jonathan David from Lille and Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, with Solanke emerging as a strong contender.
Notably, the 26-year-old was absent from the squad when Bournemouth secured a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano.
