FC Porto are making an effort to show their fans full transperancy, with part of that related to the transfer market. They have launched a portal for that sake and it has accurate details of the moves they make in the transfer window, down to the last euro.
The Portuguese giants have recently moved on David Carmo to Nottingham Forest, who later loaned him on to Olympiacos, who had him for the second half of last season too.
Porto have now revealed on the new platform that the initial fee they received from Nottingham Forest was €11m with potentially €4m worth of bonuses involved too.
In the section for the fee they paid to intermediaries, the club mentioned that they paid about half a million for that and an extra fee was also paid to intermediaries from Pro One.
Club CEO Richard von Yxkull has told Expressen that they were not informed about this move from Porto after originally agreeing the fee would be undisclosed. There’s even the chance they could now take legal action.
“Porto has not spoken to us about this. We need to take a closer look at this. I have to talk to our lawyers about that, but it is confidential. So I don’t know how Porto has actually reasoned.”
The matter, it is mentioned, could also be a breach of contract from the Portuguese club, who could find themselves in trouble for the move which was proposed by new president André Villas-Boas.
How the situation unfolds will be very intriguing to see, considering how revealing some of the financial details are.
