The permanent sale of Alisson Santos to Napoli went straight onto the list of the most profitable deals carried out by Sporting in recent years. Signed from União de Leiria for just €2.1 million, the Brazilian winger ended up bringing a total of €20 million into Sporting’s coffers in just a few months.

The amount represents a direct capital gain of €17.9 million for the SAD led by Frederico Varandas, confirming the wisdom of the club’s decision to invest in the player while he was still playing in Liga Portugal 2. The figures become even more significant when viewed in light of the Brazilian’s sporting contribution at Alvalade. During his time at Sporting, Alisson Santos took part in 31 official matches before moving to Napoli on loan with an option to buy.

Doing the math, each match played by the winger ended up generating a financial return of close to €577,000 for the green and whites, a figure that shows how quickly the initial investment was multiplied.

The player’s rise in value has also followed this trend. According to the latest Transfermarkt data, Alisson Santos was valued at €4 million when he left Alvalade. He is currently valued at €28 million.

That is an increase of €24 million in a short period of time, corresponding to an appreciation of around 600%, figures that help explain the growing interest surrounding the player, who is now permanently tied to Napoli.
