Transfer windfall: BVB pocket multi-million bonus for Alexander Isak | OneFootball

On Deadline Day, Borussia Dortmund kept a low profile and did not take any further action, after having added three new players last week with Carney Chukwuemeka, Aarón Anselmino, and Fabio Silva. Nevertheless, the BVB officials must have closely followed the hectic events of the last hours on the summer transfer market - also with a view to Alexander Isak.

After weeks of poker, including a temporary strike by the forward, both clubs found a common ground at a transfer fee of around 144 million euros, so Isak's move from Newcastle United to FC Liverpool went ahead on the final transfer day.

BVB receives around 1.5 million euros

Isak is thus the most expensive purchase in the history of the Premier League and not only brings a high transfer fee to Newcastle, but thanks to the FIFA solidarity mechanism, it also brings more or less large additional income to his former clubs. All clubs for which Isak played between the ages of 12 and 23 and which were thus involved in the training of the now 25-year-old, receive fixed amounts that are based on how long the striker was in the club.

While AIK Solna receives three million euros and Real Sociedad San Sebastian benefits from the current transfer with a little more than two million euros, according to a calculation by "fussballtransfers.com", 1.5 million euros flow into the coffers of BVB, which had signed Isak in early 2017 for 8.6 million euros from his Swedish homeland and sold him on in the summer of 2019 for 15 million euros to San Sebastian.
