The European transfer window closed this Monday (1st), with many deals shaking up the last day of the market. São Paulo will benefit from two of them to raise a few more million for its coffers.

Developed in the Cotia youth academy, forward Antony and goalkeeper Ederson will leave their teams in Manchester for other clubs in Europe. Due to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, Tricolor is entitled to a percentage from these transfers.

Antony left São Paulo at age 20, granting the Morumbi club the right to 3.5% of future sales through the solidarity mechanism. The forward was bought by Betis, from Spain, where he was already playing on loan, from Manchester United for 25 million euros, of which 875 thousand euros go to the club that developed him.

Thus, Tricolor will receive about R$ 5.6 million, at the current exchange rate, for its homegrown player, who is now 25 years old.

Goalkeeper Ederson, after eight seasons defending Manchester City, switched to Fenerbahçe, from Turkey, which will pay 14 million euros for the 32-year-old veteran. Since he was at Tricolor’s youth academy from ages 13 to 16, this yields 1.25% of the total transaction to São Paulo.

Therefore, Morumbi’s coffers will receive 175 thousand euros, which amounts to R$ 1.1 million. Added to the amount obtained for Antony, São Paulo will profit around R$ 6.7 million from these sales in the mid-year international football transfer window.

Previously, Tricolor had already benefited from the sales of other former players, such as Lucas Perri, Tuta, and Emerson Royal. The center-back transferred to Qatar, while the right-back left Milan to play for Flamengo.
