ITALIAN TRANSFER
FEE OF MORE THAN £IO,OOO
The football transfer laws in other countries are not as strict as those in Great Britain, although they all have formed their football administration according to the British model.
A famous Italian centre half, Andreolo, wanted to move from the Bologna Football Club, and the club agreed that Andreolo might find himself another club, which would have to pay 350.000 lire (about £4000) for him after the end of the season. This sum is far bigger than it seems in British currency: it corresponds approximately to a transfer sum of over £IO,OOO here.
It was, however, easy for Andreolo to find a customer and to sell himself to the Milan Football Club for the mentioned sum, plus a bonus which certainly amounted to another £ISOO, or about 150,000 to 200,000 lire. Such a thing is perfectly legal according to the Italian footoall laws.
