Federico Coletta’s fee to Benfica revealed, with a key detail unveiled | OneFootball

Federico Coletta was one of the big surprises on Benfica's last day of the transfer window, arriving at the Clube da Luz from Roma. Now, according to the Italian press, it is known that the Eagles paid around 1 million euros for the 18-year-old midfielder, with the Neapolitans safeguarding potential player appreciation.

Beyond the amount paid by Benfica to Roma for Federico Coletta, the Italians retained 30% of any future profit up to a maximum value of 6 million euros. Despite being a high percentage, Clube da Luz 'limits' the damage in case the athlete has a meteoric rise.

In the initial phase, Federico Coletta will join the work of Benfica's B team, led by Nélson Veríssimo. However, the goal of the young international from Italy's youth teams is to establish himself in Bruno Lage's squad. It remains to be seen if he will have opportunities from the Portuguese coach in this regard.

Federico Coletta's potential is immense, and this market move by Benfica surprised everyone. In 2024, the player was included in the prestigious list by the English newspaper The Guardian of the most promising young talents in European football, being compared to Davide Frattesi, the Italian international from Inter.

Wearing Roma's jersey last season, Federico Coletta played 36 matches for the juniors, scoring 11 times, showing an enormous goal-scoring ability for a midfielder. The athlete is one of the great hopes of Italian football for the upcoming years of the National Team.
