00:01Liverpool Football Club are set to miss out on a multi-million pound windfall after former Academy graduate Harry Wilson
00:09has agreed to join Leeds United on a free transfer following the expiry of his Fulham contract.
00:16The Wales international had attracted interest from several Premier League clubs but Leeds won the race for his signature without
00:25paying a transfer fee and will be in the lead squad for the 26-27 Premier League season.
00:31The move means that Liverpool will not benefit from the 15% sell-on clause they had negotiated when Wilson
00:39joined Fulham in a deal worth up to £12 million in 2021.
00:45Had Fulham sold the winger for his reported market value of around £21 million, the Reds could have pocketed more
00:53than £3 million of that fee.
00:56Instead, with Wilson leaving as a free agent, that clause becomes worthless.
01:01Wilson, who is 29 years old, came through Liverpool's academy but just made two senior appearances before loan spells at
01:10Derby County, Bournemouth, Cardiff City and eventually Fulham where he remained as a permanent transfer.
01:19While Liverpool miss out financially, Leeds United have secured an experienced Premier League attacker without paying a transfer fee at
01:28all.
