Fluminense miss out on Matheus Martins fee after failed move to Russia | OneFootball

Fluminense will not receive the amount it would have been entitled to from Matheus Martins’ transfer to Dynamo Moscow. The forward, developed at Xerém, was set to be sold by Botafogo to the Russian club for 7 million euros (around R$ 42.4 million), but the transfer was ultimately canceled. Dynamo pulled out of the deal after Matheus Martins failed his medical exams. Botafogo, in turn, disputes the diagnosis and is considering taking action against the Russians. As one of the clubs involved in the player’s development, Fluminense would have been entitled to 2.5% of the transfer fee through FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. With the 7 million euro deal, Tricolor would have received approximately 175,000 euros, around R$ 1 million. However, since the sale was not completed, the payment to Fluminense will not be made. Matheus Martins returns to Botafogo and remains under contract with the club. If the forward is transferred again in the future, Fluminense may be entitled to a new share under the solidarity mechanism, depending on the terms of the transfer.
