POSH stand to make more money from the transfer of defender Sean St Ledger to Middlesbrough.Director of football Barry Fry confirmed the club have a 20 per cent sell-on clause should St Ledger's loan switch from Preston turn into a permanent deal in the January transfer window.
Media reports suggest the fee could be as much as 4.5 million and Fry believes a permanent deal has been agreed in principle.
He also revealed Posh have already made more than 500,000 on the 24 year-old Irish international who was sold in the summer of 2006.
Fry said: "It is a fantastic deal which means in the end we could receive well over 1 million for the player. The chairman is happy, so I'm happy!
"We have already received a transfer fee, more money linked to appearances and another sum for Preston making the play-offs last season.
"I understand the permanent transfer has been agreed, but they are in a similar position as to we were with Gaby Zakuani last season where the loan spell will end before the deal can go through."
