Depending on appearances, the fee for Schneiderlin could rise to as much as 1.5 million euros, which equates to just under £1.2m.
Schneiderlin was reported to have been the subject of interest from Portsmouth and other clubs in England and Europe, but opted to join head coach Jan Poortvliet at Saints.
