Emanuel Benjamín left Real Madrid for FC Porto | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed this Tuesday the permanent signing of Emanuel Benjamín, in a deal already reported by Portal dos Dragões. The 19-year-old right-back leaves Real Madrid to join the Dragons at no cost to Porto. The player signed a three-year contract, with an option for two more, and will join the B team squad.

The blue-and-white club will retain 60% of the full-back’s economic rights, while the Madrid club keeps the remaining 40% and a right of first refusal over future offers FC Porto may receive. Real Madrid may also earn up to €750,000 in bonuses, dependent on Emanuel Benjamín meeting sporting objectives while playing for the Dragons’ first team.

FC Porto will also assume the costs related to the solidarity mechanism, and no expenses for intermediary services are expected.

Born in Brazil, Emanuel Benjamín represents Italy at youth level.
