Fluminense agree to cover taxes in Castillo deal, fee rises to $13m | OneFootball

Fluminense will spend about 13 million dollars (approximately R$ 67.9 million) to sign the Argentine striker Castillo, who belonged to Lanús. The amount is higher than initially reported because the tricolor club also agreed to pay the taxes related to the deal. The information was released by the Central Fluminense profile.

The transfer was closed at 10 million dollars for the player's economic rights. However, for Lanús to receive the full amount from the sale, Fluminense agreed to cover about an additional 3 million dollars in tax charges. With this, the total cost of the operation reaches 13 million dollars.

Castillo is the most expensive signing in Fluminense's history. The expectation is that the striker will be registered in the coming days and could make his debut against Remo this Thursday, in the Brazilian Championship.
