Arsenal to bank £3m from Barca CL win?

Arsenal are set to pocket £3m if Barcelona win the Champions League as part of the deal that took Thomas Vermaelen to Camp Nou, according to reports.

The Belgian left the Gunners last summer after agreeing a five-year deal with the La Liga giants, but he is yet to play for them competitively in any competition.

According to the Daily Mail, the transfer included a raft of club-related bonuses, one of which being that Arsenal would be paid £3m if Barca were to win the Champions League.

Barca beat Bayern Munich 5-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the competition to ensure their spot in Berlin on June 6, where they will face Juventus.
