With the more than likely departure of Enzo Fernández to an English club, possibly Chelsea, Benfica will reassert itself as the best selling club in Europe. The Portuguese team knew how to take advantage of market opportunities better than anyone, grew its players, and managed to make the most of sales.
In the last 10 years, the Portuguese club has been the team with the most sales. With a total of almost 1,110 million euros generated in these last 10 seasons, It surpassed clubs such as Atlético de Madrid (1,006 million euros) or Juventus from Turin (1,000 million euros).
The element that differentiates all the teams that follow him in income from transfers is that he spends less than half of what he generates. In recent years, the Lisbon club has spent around 530 ‘kilos’ on transfers, giving a positive balance of more than 600 million euros.
Without going any further, and waiting for further progress to be made by Enzo, it is believed that the transfer fee will exceed 120 million. If that is so, the Portuguese signed him just 5 months ago, for 10 million euros, from River Plate. A round business for the Portuguese.
The operation similar to others such as Darwin (bought from Almería for 34 million and sold for more than 80), Joao Féliz (youth player for whom they took more than 120 million from Atlético) or Rúben Dias (youth player, almost 70 million at City )where the Portuguese profited from these transactions.
