The huge fee River would get if Atlético sell Julián to Barça for €150m | OneFootball

Barça would be interested in buying the Argentine striker’s rights from Atlético Madrid. If this move goes through, the Núñez-based club would receive a significant percentage.

While in Spain the headlines are dominated by Barcelona’s supposed interest in Julián Álvarez, River are rubbing their hands at the thought of the multimillion-euro sum they could receive if the Spider’s transfer to the Catalan side goes through for the €150 million being rumored in the Iberian country, knowing that any financial income could be hugely important for a Millonario side working through a major transfer window.

The Núñez club would be entitled to collect the solidarity mechanism for having developed the player, that is, 3.75% of the transfer fee for the years he spent wearing the red sash, which would amount to nearly €5.6 million. Meanwhile, Atlético Calchín would receive a little over €1 million, a figure that would completely change the finances of the humble institution.

In recent years, River have strengthened their status as a selling club. Without going any further, they broke their record last year with Franco Mastantuono’s move to Real Madrid for €45 million. When Julián moved to Manchester City, €21 million went to the club, but the striker could increase that figure indirectly.

In recent hours, Atlético Madrid posted some confusing ironic tweets announcing fake signings of Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha, in a clearly mocking tone. They later clarified: «In recent months we have been suffering a campaign of harassment and destabilization targeting one of our players. Self-serving leaks, ‘fake news’ and continuous disrespect».

Although they deny the rumors of a possible departure for the world champion, various Spanish media outlets claim that Deco held talks with Fernando Hidalgo, the Argentine forward’s agent, given the need to find a top-level replacement for Robert Lewandowski. So far, the three parties are starring in what has become ‘the soap opera’ of the transfer window.
