Manolo Gabbiadini has scored three goals with his first three shots on target. The striker has had a dream start for Southampton as he scored a debut goal against West Ham and subsequently managed to net a brace against Sunderland. The player could quickly activate the bonuses which were inserted into his recently signed contract.
The total agreement with Napoli was found at 17.5 million euro plus 3 million in bonuses. His bonuses can be broken down into two categories: 2 million (achieved in increments of 500 thousand) of which will be dictated by his goals, and 1 million (in increments of 200 thousand) dictated by his number of appearances. Specifically, the ex-Napoli player will activate each payment of 500 thousand euro if he achieves the following: arriving at 12, 20, 30, and 40 respective goals will all result in a payment of 500 thousand. His bonuses tied to his appearances will activate as follows: the first 200 thousand will arrive after his fifteenth appearance, and the rest when he achieves 30, 45, 50, and 75 respective appearances.
