So a free agent now after not renewing his contract with Bristol City.. recently turned down Burnley due to lack of game time,
Interestingly enough due to his age Bristol City are due compensation for his development.. if he moves to Europe then that will be in the region of £260,000.. but if he stays in England then the fee is the jurisdiction of the Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC) - including appointees from the Premier League, EFL, PFA and LMA - which makes for a more nuanced ruling which does take into account far more factors around market value, status of the respective, the value of the contract offered and potential future playing time. City will be required to present what they believe is Massengo’s market value, the club he has signed for will also present a figure and then an agreement can be met, or it will go to a hearing.
At the highest end of that scale to date, in 2019, Fulham received £1.5m in compensation from Liverpool for signing Harvey Elliott when he was out of contract, but have since been provided with a further £2.8m in contingent sums due to the fact he was 16 at the time, and the decision took into account how much it was projected he could play for the Reds.
How on earth do you sign a player that is £300k to £1.5m+? and what if he ends up being LOADS more and you juct can't afford him?
