French international Ousmane Dembele made the move from Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona earlier this summer for an initial fee of €105m, though there are another €40m in add-ons tied to the deal.

German publication 'Der Spiegel' has today revealed the details behind the most expensive signing in the history of FC Barcelona, having been able to access the player's Barca contract thanks to 'Football Leaks'.

The aformentioned source reports that the initial fee for the Frenchman was €105m with a further €40m in add-ons.

The first of those add-ons is a simple one, once Dembele plays 25 games for the Catalan giants, the club will be obliged to pay Dortmund a further €5m, the same payment will then be made every 25 games the 20-year-old plays up until his 100th appearance.

The player's salary certainly matches his price tag, coming in at €12m per year (€230,000 per week), five times his wages at his former club (€46,000).

Finall, the bonuses tied to the contract. Dembele agreed a bonus of €6.7m and received a further €3m as a signing on bonus. The youngster will also take home €3.3m should Barca manage to do the treble.
