Rodri Hernández will once again generate income for Villarreal with his transfer from Manchester City to FC Barcelona in this transfer window. The Castellon club is entitled to 2.5% of the operation through FIFA's solidarity mechanism and could receive up to €1.875 million if the final price reaches €75 million.

The 30-year-old midfielder arrived in Barcelona on Monday to complete a deal reported to be €60 million fixed plus variables, with a maximum total of €75 million. Rodri will sign a contract until June 30, 2030.

Rodri Hernández brings money back to Villarreal

Rodri Hernández's arrival at FC Barcelona has direct consequences for a club he left in 2018. Villarreal played a role in his development for five seasons within the FIFA-regulated period, granting them the right to 2.5% of the transfer fee.

Rodri joined Vila-real in 2013 at 17 years old after leaving Atlético Madrid's youth system. He stayed at the club until 2018, accruing five seasons which entitles 0.5% per season through the solidarity mechanism.

If the transfer reaches €75 million, Villarreal will receive €1.875 million. The final amount depends on the fee subject to the mechanism application, as the deal between Barcelona and Manchester City includes performance-related clauses.

FIFA reserves 5% of international transfers for clubs involved in player development between 12 and 23 years old. With Rodri's time at Villarreal, the Castellon-based club retains half of that total percentage.

Manchester City has already generated €6.75 million for Villarreal

This won't be the first time Rodri Hernández earns money for Villarreal after his departure. In 2018, Atlético Madrid paid €20 million fixed plus €5 million in variables to bring back the midfielder.

At that time, Villarreal included a 10% profit share clause on a future sale. This clause came into effect just a year later when Manchester City paid €70 million to sign the player in 2019.

Considering the initial €20 million Atlético paid, the profit amounted to €50 million. This reserved percentage provided €5 million to the yellow submarine.

Additionally, around €1.75 million were gained through the solidarity mechanism from the €70 million transfer. Thus, Manchester City's deal contributed over €6.75 million to Villarreal's revenue despite Rodri already being away for a year.

FC Barcelona completes the return of Rodri Hernández to Spain

FC Barcelona is finalizing the signing of the Spanish international following an agreement with Manchester City. Rodri arrived in Barcelona on August 17, and the expected contract will extend his Barça journey until 2030.

Next, Villarreal awaits the final assessable amount from the deal. If all targets are met and the transfer reaches €75 million, Rodri Hernández will contribute another €1.875 million to the revenues earned by the Castellon club from subsequent transfers.
