Arsenal is on the brink of triggering a revolution in the transfer market by approaching Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa in a deal that could reach £130 million, surpassing the record set by Moisés Caicedo. This astronomical valuation is no accident; it aims to ensure Aston Villa receives the highest capital gains percentage ever, far exceeding previous achievements on this exclusive list.
If confirmed, Rogers' transfer to Arsenal will require the London club to contribute to an unprecedented capital gains payment, shattering the values of the top ten earnings of this type. Among the most notable cases is Moisés Caicedo, whose transfer netted Independiente Del Valle £23 million. Other striking examples include Ousmane Dembélé, whose deal brought Rennes £17 million, and Tino Livramento, which provided Chelsea with a return of £15 million thanks to a clever clause.

Based on these figures lies the growing influence of sell-on clauses, a trend that has been shaping the strategies of leading European clubs. Liverpool, for example, secured £7.2 million from the transfer of Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth, benefiting from a percentage of future profits. In previous statements, Michael Edwards, the architect of this type of deal at Anfield, viewed these clauses as a way to protect and enhance the club's long-term investment.
The importance of these operations has become even more evident with cases like that of Kevin De Bruyne, where Chelsea, despite being criticized for selling too early, ultimately profited more from the capital gains percentage than from the initial amount paid to Genk. José Mourinho himself justified the decision pragmatically: “If you have a player knocking on the door every day asking to leave, you have to make a decision. I think Chelsea made an excellent deal,” the Portuguese coach stated in the summer of 2015, shortly before Wolfsburg made a huge profit from the Belgian international.
The impact of these clauses spans various leagues and tiers. Bristol City, for instance, saw its investment in Antoine Semenyo rewarded with £10.5 million, while Hull City received £10.2 million thanks to the transfer of Harry Maguire. Even clubs traditionally distanced from international prominence, like QPR, benefited with £9 million from the sale of Raheem Sterling to Liverpool.
Should Arsenal proceed with the amounts sought by Aston Villa, it will not only be strengthening its squad with one of the most sought-after players at the moment, but it will also be associated with the largest capital gain payment ever, redefining market parameters. This move promises to trigger new negotiation strategies among clubs, with capital gain clauses assuming an increasingly central role in top transfers.
