Live, April 7 Express, at the mention of the transfer market in the summer of 2018, people can not help but think of the Evergrande paid a huge 400 million for the two foreign aid Paulinho and Talisca.
Recently, in the 2020 financial report released by the Shanghai Port Group, the Austrian foreign aid Arnautovic's attraction fee of about 150 million was listed as "important other payables with an age of more than one year", so that the topic of "attraction fee" that has been silent for a long time once again triggered heated discussions. According to the announcement released by the Football Association, Evergrande, Luneng and Dalian side have paid the attraction fee. According to the exclusive news of NetEase Sports, Evergrande paid about 400 million yuan in the summer of 2018 for Paulinho and Talisca.
For the Shanghai Harbor Group's financial report mentioned in the arrears of 150 million attraction fees of the National Football Association (NFA), the NFA and the Shanghai Harbor Club have not responded so far. Previously, the FA's clear provisions, unpaid attraction fees players shall not be registered, so the Shanghai Harbor use Arnautovic to participate in the Chinese Super League tournament has also triggered the outside world question.
The attraction fee policy of the National Football League was promulgated by the Football Association in June 2017, aiming to guide the Chinese Super League clubs to invest rationally. As of March 2019, the FA announced on its official website that Guoan for Bakambu and Bieira, Luneng for Fellaini, Evergrande for Paulinho and Talisca, Dalian for Hamsik, Gaetan and Carrasco, and Quanjian for Modeste, with a total of five clubs paying the attraction fee for nine foreign aiders.
Evergrande paid more than 400 million yuan in reinforcement fees for Paulinho and Talisca, and these payments have been fully paid. In addition, Li Ming, the general manager of Guoan, also said in public that the club had paid all the reinforcement fees. The Football Association has also made it clear in a number of announcements that clubs such as Luneng, Evergrande and Guoan have already paid their fees, so it is unlikely that the Football Association has not provided clubs with accounts to pay for reinforcement fees, as previously revealed by media sources.
So why has Arnautovic's attraction fee for joining Hong Kong in July 2019 been in arrears to date?
Some media reports claimed that this was because the Football Association was unable to issue an invoice for the cost of attracting reinforcements, and that as a state-owned enterprise, Shanghai Hong Kong was unable to pay it. This argument seems plausible. It is reported that although Evergrande has paid more than 400 million dollars in attraction fees, it has not yet received the corresponding invoice.
However, Luneng, also a state-owned unit, managed to pay for Fellaini's reinforcement fee, which makes it difficult to explain why SIPG has not paid the reinforcement fee so far.
It is clear that SIPG did not intend to default on this fee, but more likely because there were many procedural problems with the FA's collection of the "attraction fee".
It has also been previously reported that the National Football Association (NFA), after delinking from the General Administration, should be approved under the terms of the Regulations on the Registration and Administration of Social Organizations when the NFA issues and implements its policy on reinforcement fees. However, the National Football Association released the collection of attraction fees without all the procedures for approval, they had considered this income to the National Football Development Foundation. But according to the relevant provisions of the management of associations and foundations, this fee charges can not be counted as a unit of the donation fee, is still collected by the Super League company, which has touched on the management of associations and charges for a number of management regulations, some financial rules and guidelines are even difficult to overcome, resulting in the cost of attracting reinforcements has now become a "hot potato".
Therefore, the failure of Shanghai Hong Kong to pay the reinforcement fee for Arnautovic in time may be mainly attributed to the FA. However, the FA has not yet provided any explanation for Shanghai's failure to pay the reinforcement fee, nor has it provided any explanation for why Arnautovic was allowed to register without paying the reinforcement fee.
Now, leaving aside the question of why Arnautovic was able to register successfully to play in the Chinese Super League, to date, Shanghai Hong Kong is still unable to pay this fee, is it fair to the clubs that have already paid the attraction fee, and should the National Football Association refund this fee?
Due to the epidemic and the investment restrictions of the Chinese Super League, the previous clubs to pay hundreds of millions of attraction fees, once you can return, this fee is enough to offset the entire club's annual operating expenses, for the club's investors will also be a great burden reduction.
