The transfer of a former Málaga CF player between two Portuguese clubs, valued at 30 million euros, will result in an income of over half a million euros for the Málaga-based entity. This benefit stems from the FIFA solidarity mechanism, which compensates training clubs.
The footballer, who spent four seasons at La Academia after leaving Albacete, will generate a 1.75% share of the total transfer fee for Málaga CF. Additionally, the San Félix club will receive 0.25% from the same operation.
Specifically, Málaga CF will receive 525,000 euros, while San Félix will obtain 75,000 euros. This FIFA mechanism ensures that clubs contributing to player development receive financial compensation when these players are transferred internationally.
“"The FIFA solidarity mechanism stipulates that in international transfers, training clubs receive an amount for the players' time in their youth academies."
The player spent three seasons in the youth team and one more in Atlético Malagueño, justifying the compensation percentage. This is not the first time the Málaga club has benefited from the footballer's career, as they previously received an amount for his signing by Sporting de Braga.
