Iván Jaime 45 mins from earning Porto €5.5m, but Montreal want talks | OneFootball

After securing a €5 million windfall from Danny Namaso’s permanent transfer to Auxerre, FC Porto could still bring in another €5.5 million, this time thanks to Iván Jaime.

The Spanish playmaker is on loan to Canadian side Montréal Impact, who compete in MLS, and the agreement included a mandatory purchase clause to be triggered by 31 May, worth €5.5 million, if the player completes 60 percent of the team’s matches with at least 45 minutes on the pitch. That target is now just 45 minutes away from being reached, and it could happen as early as the 24th if Iván Jaime gets that amount of playing time against DC United.

Even so, Montréal Impact are looking to keep the player under different terms, as admitted by the Canadians’ interim coach, Philippe Eullaffroy. “There are ongoing discussions with FC Porto, while Ivan Jaime’s loan is coming to an end. Those discussions will continue until the loan is over,” said the coach, suggesting that the MLS club does not intend to pay the amount originally agreed with FC Porto.
