You know, this is incredibly confusing because from what I've read again, taxes are not applied if a club in Spain activates the buyout of a player within the country/league system.
Because the selling club HAVE to accept it, whereas for international teams, they are not obliged to accept it even if they reach the buyout, hence the buying club have to transfer the money to the player who then have to submit it to LFP and release himself from his contract and it's then when income tax is applied(on the money the buying club transfers to the player), which is around 50%.
If that's the case then we just have to meet his buyout and Celta would have to accept it and sell him to us, no need to pay any taxes on top of that.
Most teams do however not force the international teams to go through all that stuff, they let their players leave when the buyout is met even though they don't have to accept it, while teams like Athletic Bilbao simply don't give a shit and make them go through hell and all that.
This warrants some more investigation.... Hmmm...
Wait. Scrap that. Everything.
