In a strategy that could bring in several million to strengthen the squad, FC Porto has kept significant stakes in a large share of the rights to players who were transferred or released. As a result, several former Dragons could help the club secure a relevant financial boost during the summer market.
The most valuable assets are Gonçalo Borges, who signed for Feyenoord for €10 million, plus €1 million in performance-related bonuses, Otávio Ataíde, who moved to Paris FC for €17 million, plus €3 million in variables, and João Mário, currently on loan from Juventus to Bologna. In each of these deals, FC Porto retained the right to 15% of a future transfer.
Fran Navarro’s case with Braga is different from the others, as the Dragons are entitled to 100% of the capital gain on any future sale up to €6 million, and 25% if the amount exceeds that figure. The Spanish striker signed for the Warriors in a deal that brought in €300,000 for the loan and €2.7 million for the permanent transfer.
In the cases of André Franco (Chicago Fire), Gil Martins (Gil Vicente), Zé Pedro (Cagliari) and Denis Gutu (Académico de Viseu), FC Porto secured 50% of the amount from any future sale of their respective economic rights. In possible deals involving Abraham Marcus (Estrela da Amadora) and Romário Baró (Radomiak Radom), the club kept 40%. Finally, it is guaranteed 25% in the case of Fábio Cardoso (Sevilla).
