Corinthians cash in on Éderson’s move to Manchester United | OneFootball

Defensive midfielder Éderson was chosen by Manchester United to replace Casemiro in the team’s midfield. After emerging as a standout at Atalanta, the former Corinthians player was bought by the Red Devils from the Italian club for around 40.5 million euros, and Timão secured a profit from the player’s transfer.

According to TMC, Alvinegro is entitled to 1% of the deal because the player represented the club from age 20 to 22, with that percentage guaranteed by FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. The club from Parque São Jorge will receive around R$ 2.36 million from the transfer.
