Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zenit Alexander Medvedev commented to the source on the agreement for the transfer of the midfielder Luis Enrique of Botafogo and the departure of the midfielder Vendela and attacker Arthur Guimaraes to the Rio de Janeiro team.
As part of these three agreements, Wendel will be able to travel (to Botafogo) immediately after the end of the Russian championship – this is a commitment on both sides. All conditions – transfer and personal – have been agreed. And given the strange posts about who pays what extra to whom, I can say that neither Zenit nor Botafogo need to pay anything extra to anyone at the end of these deals. This is a completely balanced transaction.
By “balanced” I can say it’s 40, 10 and 50, or I can say it’s 30, 20 and 10, or I can say it’s 10, 5 and 5. There is a certain financial confidentiality. This is a balanced agreement and, given the amounts and payment deadlines, no one will pay anything extra. I would also like to draw (attention) – they say: the market value of a football player is such and such, referring to Transfermakt. It is well known that this resource does not have a guaranteed transfer value of a football player. This is an indicative assessment, and the transactions that take place very often differ from what is available on this resource. Additionally, you can register there and express your opinion about the player, or increase or decrease his value, so such general statements about the market value of the player should not be made. Its market value is what they are willing to pay for the player.
