Emanuel Benjamín swapped 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 Dragão at no cost to the Porto club. The player signed for three seasons, with an option for two more, and will join the squad of the B team.

The blue-and-white club will hold 60% of the full-back’s economic rights, while the Madrid side retains the remaining 40% and the right of first refusal on future offers FC Porto may receive. Real Madrid may also earn up to €750,000 in bonuses, depending 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 are expected for intermediary services.

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