Bobadilla to earn São Paulo a windfall at the World Cup, see how much | OneFootball

São Paulo will make a good financial profit from midfielder Bobadilla’s participation in this year’s World Cup in North America.

FIFA, through its Club Benefits Programme, will allocate a total of US$355 million (R$1.77 billion at the current exchange rate) to all teams that had players called up to play in the World Cup, which begins this month.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Although there is still no official confirmation of the amounts to be paid by FIFA for each player, it is expected to be US$11,000 per day for each player called up to the World Cup.

FIFA will pay the amount starting ten days before the national team’s debut until the day after its final match in the World Cup. The player does not even need to take the field for his club to receive the proposed amount.

So, with Bobadilla called up to represent Paraguay, São Paulo is already guaranteed US$275,000 (R$1.37 million) just from the midfielder’s participation in the group stage of the World Cup, for the 25 days he will be on duty for his country.

If Paraguay advances to the round of 32, the amount rises to US$363,000 (R$1.81 million), and if Paraguay reaches the round of 16, which is not at all impossible, Tricolor will earn US$407,000 (R$2.03 million) from Bobadilla’s presence in the competition.

If Paraguay reaches the quarter-finals, the amount paid to São Paulo for Bobadilla will be US$451,000 (R$2.25 million). In a historic and unlikely run by the country all the way to the World Cup final, Tricolor would receive US$539,000 (R$2.69 million) in bonuses from FIFA.

A standout for the team at Morumbi, Bobadilla was the only Tricolor player called up for the World Cup. The club still had hopes that its backup goalkeeper, Carlos Coronel, would also be called up by Paraguay, since he was on the preliminary list, but he was ultimately left out.
