The transfer fee that TSG Hoffenheim paid for Yannick Eduardo was higher than the previously reported two million euros. Various sources indicate VoetbalPrimeur indicates that FC Dordrecht ultimately earned 2.6 million euros from the striker, although the club must give up part of that transfer fee.
On Deadline Day, Eduardo transferred to Hoffenheim. This causes the cash register to ring at Dordrecht. The Sheepheads rented Eduardo from RB Leipzig this season, but were able to quickly exercise the option to purchase in that rental deal before the striker was sold. The media talked about a transfer fee of two million euros, while the purchase option would amount to 500 thousand euros. However, sources from Germany report VoetbalPrimeur that the fork is positioned slightly differently in the stem.
Dordrecht indeed paid 500 thousand euros to exercise the option to purchase, but Eduardo was ultimately sold for 2.6 million euros. Udinese, among others, was also very specific in the market for NEC’s training product, which ultimately pushed up the price. As a result, Dordrecht makes a little more profit than expected, although it will also have to give up part of the transfer fee. Leipzig has stipulated a resale percentage, while Dordt also sees a solidarity contribution flow away.
Feyenoord also signed up for Eduardo
Feyenoord, like many other clubs, also made an attempt to bring Eduardo to De Kuip. Voetbal International already reported Rotterdam’s interest. VP knows that Feyenoord has actually reported to Dordrecht. The Dutch top club only entered the transfer battle relatively late and eventually saw Eduardo make a different choice.
According to German sources, the striker consciously chose Hoffenheim. Eduardo, who also speaks fluent German, is no stranger to German culture, due to his past with Leipzig. He will also become a full member of the A-selection of the number three of the Bundesliga, where he regularly trains with the first team. The step from the Kitchen Champion Division to the Bundesliga is a big one, but at Hoffenheim Eduardo will definitely get a chance to play professional football. The second team plays in the 3. Bundesliga. Outside of VfB Stuttgart, all second teams of the Bundesliga clubs play at a lower level.
