João Neves nets Benfica millions after PSG-Arsenal win | OneFootball

Benfica continues to benefit financially from João Neves’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. Almost two years after the departure of the midfielder developed at Seixal, the Eagles are once again set to receive a significant amount thanks to the performance-related clauses included in the deal agreed in the summer of 2024.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League triumph - with the club also keeping an eye on Rúben Dias - has had a direct impact on Benfica’s accounts. The Portugal international started the final against Arsenal, and the French side’s European success triggered another of the variables set out in the agreement between the two clubs. As a result, another €2 million will now enter the coffers at the Luz.

When he left Benfica, João Neves was at the center of one of the biggest transfers in the Club’s history. The midfielder joined the French champions for an initial fee of close to €60 million, with a further €10 million in targets and bonuses tied to his individual performances and the collective results achieved by the Parisian side.

Over the last two seasons, several of those targets have been met. With last season’s European triumph, the amount had already risen significantly. This campaign, Benfica secured even more income thanks to the high number of times the player was included in PSG’s starting line-up, a clear sign of the importance João Neves has gained in the French team at just 21 years of age.

All things considered, the Portuguese midfielder has already earned Benfica around €70 million since his transfer. An impressive figure that confirms not only the quality of the Eagles’ academy, but also the Club’s ability to structure deals that continue to generate revenue long after the sale itself.
