The transfer window in Europe is in full swing, and CSKA, from Russia, has finalized the sale of defender Willyan Rocha to Al Jazira, from the United Arab Emirates. As a result, Flamengo will receive an amount due to FIFA's solidarity mechanism.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, CSKA (RUS) sold Willyan Rocha to Al Jazira (UAE) for 6 million euros (R$ 38.5 million at the current exchange rate).

In addition, two other clubs will also receive part of the amount. Grêmio holds 0.26% and will receive 15,600 euros (R$ 60,000 at the current exchange rate). Finally, Votuporanguense, from São Paulo, will be entitled to 10,200 euros, corresponding to 0.17%, and will pocket about R$ 50,000.
