It’s been a long time popular voice the fact that the signing of Luka Jović for him real Madrid (63 million in 2019) is an operation, at least, detrimental to the white team. The eighth most expensive signing in its history and his balance is three goals in three years. That is, 20 million per target. Disastrous.
And all this stands out even more when halfway through his contract, the player leaves for another destination (after half a year on loan at the Eintracht between January and June 2021) and does so without the team receiving the player, in this case the Florence, pay a single euro for his transfer despite the fact that he still had three more years of merengue left.
The reason, more or less convincing, is none other than the ease provided by the financial law of sport Italy (known as the Beckham Law in Spain) for this to happen, and although the Madrid You will not receive any amount from your transfer, but you will be able to save your file (9.1 million gross per season, about 4.5 net). A salary that, in addition, if the white team had had to pay it through a conventional transfer, they would have had to do it on Italian taxation, with a tax payment of 45.5%. But that this way, leaving it to the Fiorentina, this makes it to 24% as it is the country’s team. In addition, the information indicates that the white team would have secured a 50% profit in the deal in the event of a possible sale in the future during the next two years.
In short, that of Jović It is a strange operation, unusual in football but which prioritizes the interests of the real Madridat least part of them, since they stop paying a high salary for a player who, despite the poster he brought with him upon arrival, has not met expectations.
