Millwall’s sale of Romain Esse to Crystal Palace is a significant step in their new strategy, aiming for financial sustainability and growth.
London: Millwall’s owner, James Berylson, is pretty excited about Romain Esse’s move to Crystal Palace. He sees it as the beginning of a fresh vision for the club.
Berylson has mentioned before that the team needs to sell some of its top players to stay financially stable. It’s all about making sure the club can keep going strong.
Palace triggered a release clause in Esse’s contract, which was signed earlier this season. If he hadn’t extended his deal, he would’ve been a free agent this summer, and Millwall would’ve gotten less in return.
This isn’t the first big exit for Millwall. Just recently, Zian Flemming was loaned to Burnley with a buy option. Now, with Esse’s transfer, they’ve set a club record for a sale.
Berylson shared his pride in Esse’s journey, saying he’s grown into a talented player at such a young age. He’s excited to see what’s next for him.
He also pointed out that Esse’s success shows the potential for young players coming from their academy, thanks to the great support from the coaching staff.
Financially, this sale is a big first step in their new strategy. It brings in a solid financial boost for the club, with more potential benefits tied to Esse’s future success.
Berylson emphasized the importance of reinvesting to keep the team competitive and improve the club’s facilities. He thanked the fans for their support and looks forward to an exciting future together.
