We aren’t 100% sure because it’s likely the exact particulars won’t officially be released, but the total transfer fee paid by Atlanta United for Ezequiel Barco should be around $15 million. That’s not including 30% they’ll pay for any potential future sale between now and 2019.
Part of that money will go to Barco himself, which will bring him a long way from the humble beginnings he came from in Villa Gobernador Galvez, Argentina. But instead of immediately spending it on much of the things like a typical 18-year-old would, he’s using some of that money for an awesome purpose.
