The Championship trio still have skin in the game of three potentially big-money Premier League moves

Blackburn Rovers, QPR, and Coventry will all be keenly eyeing Premier League moves this summer.

As the season draws to a close, attention quickly turns to transfer business.

That’s usually comprised of incomings and outgoings from their own club, but in this Championship trio’s case, they’ll be watching other clubs’ movement for a potential windfall.

They could soon see a boost to their finances thanks to sell-on clauses held on Adam Wharton, Ebere Eze and Viktor Gyokeres respectively.

Blackburn could profit again from Wharton

Wharton rose through the ranks at Blackburn, his local club, before moving to Premier League side Crystal Palace in a deal potentially worth up to £22m.

Given Rovers had no outlay on the young midfielder, they banked that money as pure profit, but could pull in even more this summer if Wharton moves again.

That’s because, according to journalist Alan Nixon via his Patreon page, Blackburn hold a sell-on clause on Wharton worth between 10 and 15 percent of his next sale.

Assuming that’s on the full value of any sale, and with some sources valuing Wharton at around £100m according to GIVEMESPORT, that could net Rovers an extra eight-figure sum. .

Such a sum would dramatically alter Blackburn’s spending power this summer, so they’ll have keen eyes on any movement, with Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all thought to admire him.

Palace could also make QPR’s summer

Blackburn won’t be the only side keeping an eye on Selhurst Park, with QPR holding a sell-on clause of their own over Ebere Eze.

He moved from Loftus Road in 2020 in a deal worth £19.5m and has kicked on significantly since.

QPR were smart enough to insert a 20 percent sell-on clause into the deal.

Top-level teams like Arsenal and Liverpool have been credited with an interest in recent months.

Sadly, with a release clause of £60m it looks as though QPR’s benefit could be capped, but if a team decides to pay it, it’ll still be a significant sum of money.

Gyokeres could provide Coventry City with another windfall

For just £1m, in a deal from Brighton, the 43 goals and 17 assists Gyokeres provided in his 116-game run at Coventry City made it worth every penny.

But Gyokeres’ true value to the Sky Blues was only just beginning.

They sold the Sweden international to Portuguese side Sporting for a reported £20m, the most ever paid for Coventry player, with the side also inserting a sell-on clause.

The BBC suggest that Coventry are due 10 percent of any profit Sporting make on the striker, but local outlet CoventryLive say this was reduced to five percent last year after the Portuguese side paid the Championship club an additional £843,500.

At the lower end of that scale, with Arsenal reportedly interested and having been told Gyokeres is available for £60m, the roughly £40m profit would bring in an extra £2m for Coventry.

Given they signed Gyokeres for half that in the first place, it’s significant money which could go a long way.

Each of the three teams will have plenty of their own business to attend to over the summer, but they’ll find it hard not to track the progress of any potential moves for those who could supply them with a secondary windfall.
