Sporting to pay Barcelona almost half a million euros | OneFootball

Sporting are getting increasingly close to securing the signing of Sergi Altimira from Real Betis, in a deal expected to be worth around €18 million fixed, plus a further €4 million in add-ons. However, the full transfer fee will not be received by the Andalusian club.

Among the clubs that will benefit financially from the deal is Barcelona, where the Spanish midfielder spent part of his youth development. Due to the player development compensation mechanisms, the Catalans will be entitled to receive around €400,000.

The player left La Masia in 2019 to join Sabadell, continuing his development in Spanish football. During that period, he also spent time on loan at Granollers, before eventually establishing himself at Sabadell.

His strong performances led him to sign for Getafe in 2023, but his spell at the Madrid club was short-lived. Shortly afterwards, Real Betis moved to sign the midfielder by triggering the €2 million release clause.

This season, Sergi Altimira - valued at €20 million - made 40 appearances for Real Betis: 24 in La Liga, 11 in the Europa League and five in the Copa del Rey. In total, the Spanish midfielder played 2,172 minutes, scoring two goals and providing three assists.
