Liverpool have missed out on millions in bonus money following Xherdan Shaqiri's transfer to Chicago Fire.
The Switzerland international midfielder left the Reds in the summer for Lyon in a deal worth £5million, with 4.2million to be paid further down the line in bonus instalments - nearly 50 per cent of the overall transfer fee.
It was never stipulated what would trigger the clauses, but most contracts feature appearance and goal bonuses.
