BEIJING, April 4 - The latest news from Soccer News is that the National Football Association of China (NFA) is still maintaining its policy on the adjustment fee for attracting reinforcements, with no signs of withdrawing it. Recall that on December 31, 2019, the NFA issued a notice on the adjustment of the guidelines for the 2020 professional league season, which clearly states that the standard of the transfer fee for domestic and foreign players will remain stable, and the collection method will be changed from the full amount of the fee to the difference (only the portion of the transfer fee that exceeds the standard will be subject to the adjustment tax).
So, in recent years, has the National Football Association (NFA) actually collected the reinforcement adjustment fee? The answer is yes.On March 19, 2019, the National Football Association publicized the transfers completed by Chinese Super League and Chinese League clubs during the 2019 winter transfer window. The public announcement showed that four important foreign aiders, including Talisca, Paulinho, Fellaini and Hamsik, had paid the adjustment fee. Together with 2018, a total of eight foreign aid transfers involved the payment of adjustment fees, including Bakambu and Bieira of Guoan, Paulinho and Talisca of Guangzhou, Hamsik and Carrasco of Dalian, Fellaini of Shandong Taishan and Modeste of Tianjin Tianhai. The total regulatory fees for the transfer of these players amounted to about billions of RMB. In other words, Guoan, Guangzhou, Dalian, Taishan and the undisbanded Tianhai have all paid this fee.
