Benfica also profit from Enzo Fernández's move to City; learn more | OneFootball

The confirmation of Enzo Fernández’s transfer from Chelsea to Manchester City has become the most expensive move in the history of English football. The multi-million-euro deal was completed for 146 million euros, surpassing the 145 million previously paid by Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak.

Benfica will receive a financial amount from this transfer through FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. The contract provides for the right to 0.5% of the total transaction amount because the footballer represented the Eagles.

The Lisbon club will therefore receive around 730,000 euros from the deal completed between the two British sides. This amount is added to the 121 million euros that the Reds’ board had already earned from the direct sale of the Argentina international to Chelsea in January 2023.

While playing for the Blues, Enzo Fernández even wore the captain’s armband and posted highly significant numbers in British football. In 170 official matches, the South American midfielder scored 31 goals and provided 29 assists in English football.

. The club change represents a new level in the player’s career, while Benfica’s board secures another unexpected financial boost for the club’s coffers.
