Adrián Balboa’s transfer to Russian football brings news for Santa Fe. Racing finalized the sale of the striker to Pari Nizhniy Novgorod, a deal that Unión had been closely following as they own 20% of his economic rights.
The transfer for the entirety of his rights was closed at a figure close to one million dollars. Under these terms, “El Tate” is entitled to around $200,000. The point yet to be determined is whether this amount will be received in gross or “net” form, as tax deductions could reduce the final sum that reaches the club’s coffers.
Informally, it has emerged that the payment would be made in four installments, although official confirmation of the final terms is still awaited. While it’s not a sum that will drastically change the budget, Unión’s management values the income as a much-needed financial relief given the current economic situation.
Balboa has already said goodbye to the Academia and is preparing for his trip to join his new team in Russia. With this move, an administrative matter that Unión had been monitoring for some time is now closed, turning a sporting right into a tangible economic benefit.
