If
Enzo Fernández
's is the most important sale in the history of Argentine football, it is also -logically- for
River
.
It is that Núñez's institution will end up receiving, in total, more than
50 million euros
for the central midfielder, who was transferred from Benfica of Portugal to Chelsea of England on the edge of the closing of the European transfer market for a total of 121,000. 000 euro.
River corresponds to
25% of the transfer
since last July, when he sold the young midfielder who just turned
22
, he kept that percentage of the pass.
Therefore, the amount that the Núñez club will receive for the million-dollar operation is
30 million euros
, because the English club executes the
termination clause
.

To this amount we must add
another 18 million euros:
10 are from the original sale to Benfica in August 2022 and another 8 correspond to bonuses depending on the number of games Fernández played.
The Argentine put on the 'Águilas' shirt 29 times, meeting the first two steps of that goal (10, 25, 40 and 50 appearances), although the Portuguese club will pay for that full agreement, because it was agreed that way.
And we must also
add 3.5% of the solidarity mechanism
, which is equivalent to about
4 million euros
, while the remaining 1.5% (about 2 million euros) corresponds to
Defense and Justice
, which had it a year and a half on loan.
Of the more than 50 million euros that River pockets for the total amount of the operation,
the Núñez treasury enters pesified at the value of the official exchange rate
(today the price of the euro is trading at 203 pesos), which can vary according to the moment in which you receive the quotas.
This last part, the most bulky, will be received in
three or four parts
, according to what is defined with Benfica in the next few hours.
And from everything that enters,
25.7% taxes must be deducted
(15% of the soccer player; 7% to the national State; 2% to AFA; 1.2% in CABA stamps; 0.5% to Unionized Argentine Soccer Players).
A large part of that money (it will not be necessary to allocate it to the Monumental mega-project, which is already practically covered since it can be self-financed with genuine income)
River will be able to use it to reinvest it in football
.
Both in its lower divisions and in further ranking its squad as of June and having a good economic ceiling to increase the coffers and sustain the dream of having the return of more figures that emerged from their quarry or a world champion like
Nicholas Otamendi
.
The cover of the Récord de Portugal newspaper in May 2022, with Enzo Fernández as a highlight.
Enzo, precisely, was a player made in River.
He arrived at the club when he was barely
6 years old
and was trained not only as a footballer, but also as a person.
And after making his debut in Primera, he went on loan to Defensa y Justicia, where he had a fruitful step by playing at a high level and being champion of the Copa Sudamericana and the Conmebol Recopa.
Later he returned to River to be champion of the Professional League and the Champions Trophy and in just one year he made the leap to European football.
He and also the Argentine National Team, with which he established himself in Qatar, being the revelation and one of the figures of Lionel Scaloni's team.
“Being the most expensive sale in Argentine soccer and one of the most expensive in English soccer is a great source of pride for all of us who contribute a grain of sand to its growth. But it is all to the credit of Enzo, who never gave up and who always wanted more, and of his family, who always supported
him," Pablo Esquivel, one of his discoverers, told
Clarín
, who alerted River to sign him when little Enzo was already unstitching it when he was barely five years old at the La Recova baby club in San Martín.
Enzo Fernández
, who grew up in a humble family in which he shared a roof with his parents and four siblings, rewarded his training.
And by far.
First, with football and values.
Now with money
