Llorente’s dream move to Real Madrid stalled by multi-million tax
Real Madrid’s plans to sign Athletic Bilbao’s Fernando Llorente are on the verge of collapsing after MARCA announced that the club would have to pay a staggering€63m to secure his services. The transfer fee reaches this high price due to Bilbao’s refusal to negotiate a move, this means Real Madrid must pay Llorente’s €36m release fee clause. However, the overall transfer hits an astonishing €63m because the Spanish striker will have to pay an additional €27m in taxes.
