FC Porto reports additional expenses with acquisitions between the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, with the increase largely due to signings made in January, namely Martín Anselmi, as well as William Gomes and Tomás Pérez.

In 2023/24, additional expenses with acquisitions totaled €5.2M, resulting from the acquisitions of Otávio (€1.2M), Alan Varela (€1.2M), Nico González (€1.1M), and other smaller transactions (€1.7M). In the most recent fiscal year, this amount increased by €500,000 to €5.7M, driven by signings such as Samu (€2.7M), Gabri Veiga (€1.25M), and other transactions (€970,000).

On the other hand, there were increases mainly in rents and leases (€1.6M to €3.2M) and communication (€795,000 to €1.4M).

Finally, in personnel costs, remuneration of the corporate bodies fell from €2.6M to €660,000; remuneration of athletes and the technical team dropped from nearly €63M to €53M; while staff remuneration increased from €9.7M to €13.5M. Overall, remuneration expenses were reduced by €1M.
