River’s windfall if Atlético sell Julián Álvarez to Barça for £150m | OneFootball

Barça would be interested in buying the registration rights of the Argentine forward from Atlético Madrid. If this move goes through, the Núñez club would receive a significant percentage.

While in Spain the front pages are dominated by Barcelona’s alleged interest in Julián Álvarez, River are rubbing their hands at the thought of the multimillion sum they could receive if the Spider’s transfer to the Catalan club goes through for the 150 million euros being rumored in Spain, knowing that any financial income could be hugely important for a River side working hard in an active transfer market.

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

In recent years, River have reinforced their status as a selling club. Just last year, they broke their record with Franco Mastantuono’s move to Real Madrid for 45 million euros. When Julián joined Manchester City, 21 million went to the club, but the striker could increase that figure indirectly.

In the last few 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 smear campaign against one of our players. Interested leaks, fake news, and constant disrespect.”

Although they deny the rumors of a possible departure for the world champion, various Spanish outlets claim that Deco has been in contact with Fernando Hidalgo, the Argentine attacker’s agent, due to the need to find a top-level replacement for Robert Lewandowski. So far, the three parties are at the center of what has become the transfer window’s “soap opera.”
