The player may or may not get them. If the player is mid contract, and asks for a transfer, then he's not entitled to transfer fee money, however, if it's all done above board properly, and team A approaches team B, and they agree to sell player, then he gets money.
I'm pretty sure brown envelopes are involved so players get money no matter what though

Yep backhanders ones suspects are the norm in the murky world of the transfer market.
