Official! Jakub Kaminski joins Benfica, surprise in deal details | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski is officially a Benfica signing. The 24-year-old Polish international winger has signed a contract valid until 2031 and joins the squad coached by Marco Silva for the 2026/27 season, with his presentation taking place this Tuesday.

According to the statement already sent to the CMVM, the Eagles paid €17 million to Cologne for the winger’s transfer. In addition, the player is protected by a €60 million release clause.

One of the biggest surprises among the details is clear: the German club secured 10% of the capital gain from a future sale, a percentage that rises to 25% if Kaminski is transferred during the 2026 summer transfer window.

Despite interest from other European clubs in signing the player, such as Brighton and RB Leipzig, the Polish international gave priority to the project presented by the Benfica hierarchy and ultimately chose to move to the Luz.

That being the case, Jakub Kaminski will now join the work overseen by Marco Silva and could make his debut as early as next Saturday against Flamengo, in the first pre-season match open to fans, scheduled for 7:30 pm.
