In February 2018, the club received a €600,000 windfall resulting from the transfer of their former youth player Iñigo Martínez who moved between the region's biggest clubs Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao. Although less than 10% of the €32 million fee (the standard youth development payment percentage) due to a prior agreement between Aurrerá and Real in the event of a big move involving the player, it represented three times their annual budget and allowed for significant improvements to be made to facilities.[1]
