Deal done! Famalicão sell Benfica target to England for 20M | OneFootball

Gustavo Sá is leaving Famalicão and will strengthen West Ham in the 2026/27 season, with the deal set to be completed for a fee of around €20 million. Although the Minho club’s SAD had initially been aiming for a transfer worth around €25 million, negotiations were ultimately concluded below that amount. Benfica were one of the clubs interested in signing him, but the English interest ruled out that possibility.

Of that amount, €12.5 million came from the sale of 80% of the player’s economic rights to Sporting, while the remainder was received later, when the Lions’ Uruguayan international moved to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023.

At 21, Gustavo Sá brings to an end an eight-season spell at Famalicão, a club he had represented since the under-15 level in 2018/19. The Portugal under-21 international midfielder made his first-team debut in the 2022/23 season and leaves with a total of 120 official appearances, 12 goals and 15 assists for the Minho side.
