Atletico Madrid insisted that Chelsea meet Diego Costa's release
clause and pay £32million for the striker- because they knew they would
only recieve half of that.Negotiations for the Brazilian were
dragged out as Chelsea have been interested in the player for months.
The negotiations took longer because of the fact that Atletico held out
for Chelsea to offer Coasta's release clause of £32million. This
happened because Atletico will only pocket £16million of the fee.
Reports
in Spain suggest that agent Jorge Mendes will pocket 10% of the amount,
while Portuguese club Sporting Braga, Costa's club before Atletico, are
entitled to 20%. Finally, Investment Fund Quality held a stake in the
player, but they have now been bought out by Chelsea, meaning The Blues
got 20% of the fee they paid back.(soccerheatbase)
