Club career

Bolatti began his career in 2003 at Club Atlético Belgrano, Belgrano. In 2006, his team was promoted to the Argentine Primera División, but the club was relegated after only one season in the top flight. Bolatti was subsequently transferred to Portuguese club FC Porto, Porto in July 2007, where he signed a four-year contract. Porto acquired 60% of his economic rights for future transfer fees the club received while unnamed parties held the remaining 40%. Bolatti moved on a six-month loan to Club Atlético Huracán, Huracán for the 2008–09 Argentine Primera División season#Torneo Clausura, 2009 Torneo Clausura upon recommendation from Porto teammate Lucho González. He was selected as the best player in the tournament by Argentine sports daily ''Diario Olé, Olé'' and was a key player in Huracán's championship bid, which was thwarted by Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield, Vélez Sarsfield in the last match. In July 2009, Porto sold all its economic rights in Bolatti (60%) to Natland Financieringsmaatschappij B.V. in order to acquire Radamel Falcao's remaining registration rights from the Dutch company. Both economic rights were valued at €1.5 million, making Bolatti's transfer value at that time worth €2.5 million in total. Porto later retained 20% of his economic rights and received €1 million only from Natland. The retained 20% economic rights were "worth" €232,360 in accounting (as a financial asset instead of intangible asset, latter "weathered" by time), the portion of the residual (un-amortized) value of the acquisition costs that Porto paid in 2007. Porto retained the economic rights and the non-dividable registration rights to make Porto the entity to receive transfer fee for Natland and arrange a loan deal for the company. In the interim, Bolatti remained with Huracán for the 2009–10 Argentine Primera División season#Torneo Apertura, 2009 Torneo Apertura. On 18 January 2010, Bolatti was transferred to Italian Serie A club ACF Fiorentina, Fiorentina for €3.5 million.ACF Fiorentina Report and Accounts on 31 December 2010 Porto received €500,000 for its 20% portion, but using the previous "market" value of €2.5 million as calculation.
