Benfica is set to receive nearly one million euros from Burnley's sale of Florentino to Ipswich. This windfall comes courtesy of UEFA's solidarity mechanism, which allocates a percentage of transfer fees to the player's formative club.
According to Sky Sports, Ipswich is paying Burnley €18.66 million for the midfielder, with an additional €3.5 million in potential add-ons. Under the solidarity mechanism, Benfica is entitled to €933,000, representing approximately 5% of the total deal.
Burnley initially paid Benfica €26 million for the young Portuguese international's services. This latest transfer means the Eagles will profit an additional €933,000 from the player, who will remain in the Premier League following the Clarets' relegation and the Tractor Boys' promotion.
