Marcel Brands has secured a sell on clause in the deal which has taken Nikola Vlasic away from Everton.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton have put a sell on clause in the deal that has taken Nikola Vlasic to CSKA Moscow.

Vlasic joined CSKA on a permanent deal from Everton for £14 million, and the Toffees will also profit from the deal if the Russian side do decide to sell him on in the future.

That could be crucial for Everton, as the foresight shown from Marcel Brands could pay off in a few years.

Although Vlasic appeared to have no direct route into Everton’s first-team, it was clear that he had a sizeable amount of potential.

The 21-year-old has a great deal of talent, and impressed at the highest level in the Champions League last term.

If Vlasic does go on to fulfil his potential at CSKA then he could become a very dangerous player.

Everton could have been left to rue letting him go, if they had simply taken a price for the attacking midfielder this summer.

But by putting a clause in the deal which ensures the Toffees will get some money from Vlasic’s next move, Brands has made a decision which could benefit the Toffees massively in future years.
