Recently, news came from the soccer transfer market, according to well-known reporter Romano reported that the English Premier League promoted Fulham is about to sign Spanish defender Jorge Cuenca, the deal will not only add strength to Fulham's defense, but also may bring a windfall for La Liga giants Barcelona.
According to details from Daily Sport, Barcelona set a special clause for Nka's transfer contract in an earlier transfer operation that retains 20% of future transfer revenues. This clause was set to reflect Barcelona's new strategy in the transfer market, aiming to gain additional financial returns from the player's subsequent transfers in order to ease the club's financial pressure.
Now, this strategy is finally starting to show results. Villarreal have reportedly reached an agreement with Fulham to sell Nka to the latter for a transfer fee of €6.5 million. According to the terms set by Barcelona, this means that Barcelona will get an additional 1.3 million euros from this transfer. For Barcelona, who are still facing financial difficulties, this is undoubtedly a valuable amount of money that will help the club better balance its financial situation.
Barcelona's modus operandi in the transfer market has indeed changed significantly in recent years, as they have focused more on the potential value of players and the flexibility of transfer terms. By setting up similar transfer share clauses, Barcelona is able to maintain a certain level of financial gain even after the departure of a player, which is of great significance in terms of improving the club's financial stability and sustainable development.
The transfer of Nka to Fulham not only proves the effectiveness of Barcelona's strategy, but also provides a useful reference for other clubs. In the future transfer market, we may see more similar transfer clauses appearing, becoming a new means of gaming between clubs.
