Charlotte FC reveal key detail in Patrick Agyemang to Derby County transfer announcement

Charlotte FC have confirmed a sell-on clause in Patrick Agyemang’s transfer to Derby County.

The USA international striker has joined the Rams on a four-year contract.

Charlotte announced it is a “club record fee” in a statement and also confirmed the MLS club “also retains a sell-on percentage for Agyemang”.

“Patrick’s rise over the past 18 months put him on the radar of many clubs across Europe, and ultimately Derby County’s offer convinced the club and player to reach an agreement,” said Charlotte FC general manager Zoran Krneta.

“To get a deal done it needs to be in the best interest of the club first and foremost, but also of the player and in this case, it achieves both.

“He becomes the first player in our club’s history to come through our player pathway and be sold in a multi-million-dollar transfer.

“Patrick is a top professional and has earned this opportunity through his hard work and dedication on the training pitch since coming to Charlotte FC.

“Everyone at the club wishes him the best of luck at Derby County, with the United States Men’s National Team as they build to the World Cup, and throughout the rest of his career.”
