Former Club Retains Sell-on Fee on Lazio Defender
Lazio would owe Vejle BK a certain percentage if they ever decide to cash in on Danish centre-back Oliver Provstgaard.
Oliver Provstgaard Has Been on a Steady Rise at Lazio
The Biancocelesti bought the 23-year-old from the Danish club in February 2025 for around €4.5 million, and tied him down to a contract valid until June 2031. The Copenhagen native was unsung at the time, and he spent the first few months as a benchwarmer in Marco Baroni’s court.
Last season, Provstgaard rose in the pecking order, especially amid Patric and Samuel Gigot’s injury nightmares, becoming the first option off the bench to replace either Mario Gila or Alessio Romagnoli. When the starting duo left Lazio in the summer, the Dane became a regular starter, despite the arrival of three older, more accomplished defenders in Josip Sutalo, Diogo Leite, and Danilho Doekhi.
Provstgaard’s Value
Provstgaard’s achievements in Rome have also earned him a regular starting berth with Denmark. Transfermarkt estimates his current value at €20 million. Therefore, Lazio would be able to register comprehensive capital gains should they sell the young centre-back. However, they would have to share the exploits with his former club.
Vejle Have 15% Sell-on Fee on Provstgaard Resale
According to Danish portal Campo.dk (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Vejle had reserved themselves a 15% sell-on fee when they sold the defender to the Aquile two years ago. This clause has become increasingly common in the sport, especially when selling a young player who has large room for improvement.
Precedents at Lazio
Lazio had a similar arrangement with Real Madrid, who pocketed 50% of Lazio’s profit from selling Gila to AC Milan last summer. Moreover, Arsenal reportedly has a 35% sell-on fee on Nuno Tavares.
