Official: Emanuel Benjamín leaves Real Madrid to join Porto on three-year deal | OneFootball

The club said in a statement that it has signed 19-year-old right-back Emanuel Benjamín from Real Madrid on a permanent deal. He agreed a three-year contract with an option for two more and will initially join the B team. The move involves no fee.

Porto have acquired 60% of the player’s economic rights, with Real Madrid retaining 40% and a right of first refusal on future offers received by the Portuguese club. Madrid could earn up to 750,000 euros in add-ons if Benjamín meets sporting targets with Porto’s first team.

Porto will cover the solidarity mechanism and face no intermediary costs.

Born in Brazil, Benjamín represents Italy at youth level.

He described the switch as a unique and special opportunity and said he wants to give his best for Porto. He reflected on his time in Spain as building competitiveness and a stronger sense of the collective.

Benjamín called the responsibility unique and set the aim of making history at the club. He views Portuguese football as competitive, physical and tactical, and believes it suits his style.

He hopes to find new goals and opportunities and to give supporters many reasons to be happy. He added that he wants to win as many games as possible, not simply to compete.
