João Gomes is very close to transferring to Atlético de Madrid (ESP)

The season in Europe is in its final days, but clubs already have some negotiations at an advanced stage even before the transfer window opens. As a result, João Gomes, formerly of Flamengo, is expected to be bought by Atlético de Madrid (ESP). That way, Mengão remains attentive.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Atlético de Madrid will pay 39 million euros (R$ 228.7 million at the current exchange rate) to Wolverhampton. At this moment, João Gomes already has a deal in place with the Spaniards, and the English club is close to accepting the offer.

As such, Flamengo will receive part of the fee. That is because the Rubro-Negro side is entitled to 10% of the profit from a future sale, in addition to 4% through FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. Therefore, Mengão would receive 3.59 million euros (R$ 21 million at the current exchange rate).

HOW IS THIS DEAL CALCULATED?

Flamengo sold João Gomes to Wolverhampton in January 2023 for 18.7 million euros (R$ 103.2 million at the exchange rate at the time). Therefore, the 10% to which the Rubro-Negro side is entitled is based on the profit from the sale. In other words, on top of 20.3 million euros (R$ 119.1 million).

In addition, Flamengo is entitled to 5% of the amount due to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. This is because the training club receives a share of transfers made all over the world, according to the rules of football’s governing body.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

While João Gomes finalizes his transfer to Atlético de Madrid, Flamengo remain focused on their upcoming matches. The Most Beloved take the field this Wednesday (20) to face Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the Copa Libertadores.
