Transfer market: Cardoso Varela's multi-million release clause

Two years after his controversial and litigation-marked departure, Cardoso Varela is back at FC Porto. The winger will sign a three-year deal, the maximum length allowed for underage players, with a release clause set at €50 million.

The player, who is only 17, will initially represent the Dragons’ B team, although there is a possibility he may occasionally be called up to the first team, managed by Francesco Farioli.

After being officially announced as a new signing, the young forward is expected to begin training as early as next week, under João Brandão and alongside his new teammates.

Over the past two seasons, the Portugal under-17 international played for Dinamo Zagreb, in Croatia.
