NAC Breda awaits over €4 million from Jan Paul van Hecke transfer to Tottenham
Jan Paul van Hecke’s €60 million move to Tottenham Hotspur triggers a sell‑on clause for NAC Breda, which is entitled to 7.5 percent of the fee. BN DeStem reports the Dutch club expects to receive more than €4 million, but the exact amount and timing remain uncertain.
The transfer is already in progress, with the defender from Zeeland preparing for his next international duty with the Netherlands national team ahead of the World Cup second group match against Sweden. NAC Breda’s board is monitoring the deal closely, aware that the final payment may be spread over several years.
According to BN DeStem, the club’s right to a 7.5 percent sell‑on fee means the money will flow from England to the Rat Verlegh Stadion’s accounts, but various deductions complicate the calculation. The club estimates that the net receipt could exceed €4 million once all obligations are settled.
NAC Breda, recently relegated from the Eredivisie, has indicated it will wait patiently for the funds, acknowledging that the full amount could take three to five years to be fully collected. When the money arrives, the club will record the entire sum in a single line item in its annual financial statements.
While the transfer promises a significant cash injection, the uncertainty over the precise figure means the club’s flag has not yet been lowered, reflecting a cautious approach to the financial windfall. Fans are reminded to follow the latest updates from BN DeStem and the club’s communications for further details.
