The reason Celtic will not receive the entire €20 million transfer fee from Como for Nicolas Kuhn is due to the “FIFA solidarity” rule.

 

 

 

Nicolas Kuhn’s departure from Celtic is nearly inevitable. Following speculation that Kuhn might return to RB Leipzig, Como, an Italian club, initiated negotiations with Celtic regarding a fee for the player. Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday afternoon that an

 

 

 

 

agreement was ultimately reached, despite the fact that the negotiations appeared to be dragging on. Sky Germany subsequently disclosed additional information, asserting that Kuhn will execute a four-year contract with the Serie A club and that the ultimate fee will be €20 million. However, Ajax, Kuhn’s former club, are entitled to a portion of the prize. This is the reason.

 

 

 

 

Ajax will capitalise on the €20 million transfer of Kuhn. According to Kicker’s report, FIFA’s solidarity mechanism provides that the vendor retains five percent of the gross fee when a player transfers to another international club for a transfer fee. This amount is then distributed to the clubs that trained the player between the ages of 12 and 23.

 

 

 

 

Kuhn was enrolled with Ajax from January 2018 to January 2020, a period that encompasses two complete training development seasons. Ajax will be obligated to pay approximately one percent of the €20 million that Como is obligated to pay Celtic, as a result of the FIFA rule. In total, this amounts to approximately £172.5k.

 

 

 

 

Ajax will be pleased to receive a substantial bonus, while Celtic’s return for Kuhn will not be substantially affected. Kuhn’s position in Celtic’s record sales Kuhn will become one of Celtic’s most expensive transactions of all time, with a total transfer fee of approximately £17.2m. The record is currently held by Matt

 

 

 

 

O’Riley, who transferred to Brighton for £26 million last summer. Jota and Kieran Tierney were each sold for £25 million. In 2018, Moussa Dembele transferred from Celtic to Olympique Lyonnais for an estimated £20 million, elevating him to the fourth position on the all-time list. Therefore, upon the completion of the Como agreement, Kuhn will occupy the fifth position.
