A massive blow came to this winter crypto transfer window from a European country.

According to the release Spanish sports news-outlet LaLiga Santander, it is known that the transaction was wholly conducted via cryptos.

The deal created history in Spanish football

The deal came from a marketing plan

According to a European news outlet, the player’s payment plan via virtual assets has come from a marketing plan between DUX Inter de Madrid and the cryptocurrency exchange Criptan. Barral also highlighted that his future salary would be received directly in EUROs, so he doesn’t want to put his money at ‘risk’. However, the exact amount of the payment has yet to be disclosed, and which crypto tokens have been used is also a secret yet. Barral’s former football club has also claimed that the payments via crypto are the player’s salary.

Adoption of cryptocurrencies in the sports sector

Getting specific about football, it is known that the latest transfer is the first deal in Spanish football, and not the worlds. Technically, the world’s first crypto deal in the history of football was made back in 2018. When a Turkish footballer Ömer Faruk Kıroğlu, received $521 worth of Bitcoins via the amateur club Harunustapor. According to the president of that club, the step had been a publicity stunt, which successfully managed to get the club’s name in the international media.
