However, the information about the sum dies apart. While the German broadcaster writes of EUR 22 million that transfers Zenit for the Uruguayer, the sum mentioned in Portugal and Russia is lower. The newspaper “Record“Reports 15 million euros in base revenue and 5 million euros in bonuses, half of which is linked to player and the other. All ten missions of Zalazar cost 500,000 euros up to 2.5 million. Braga also receives 20 percent of resale.
With 10 percent and the lower amount mentioned, Schalke should still be happy for a player for a player over 1.5 million to 2 million euros. In Braga, Zalazar has taken a strong development and increased its market value this season to EUR 16 million. Since a change, the former international in 70 games had been directly involved in 32 goals (14 goals/18 assists) – 14 scorer points date from this season.
Under Braga’s most expensive departures, Zalazar is in the top 5 as soon as a small number of bonuses are activated (for statistics). Zenit has already paid 33 million euros for foreigners Luiz Henrique (24) to Botafogo this winter, but in the same time Artur (26) to the association from Rio de Janeiro and Claudinho (28) to al-SADD for a total of 30 million euros transferred.
