What are 'sell-on clauses'?
A sell-on clause is a common part of football transfer deals. It means the selling club gets a percentage of any future profit if the player is sold again. For Martinelli, Arsenal would get 20% of any profit Al Hilal makes if they sell him later, which protects the selling club's investment.
