The confirmation of Enzo Fernández's transfer from Chelsea to Manchester City became the most expensive movement in the history of English football, with the deal being completed for 146 million euros, surpassing the 145 million previously paid by Liverpool in the signing of Alexander Isak.
Benfica will receive approximately 730 thousand euros from this transfer through FIFA's solidarity mechanism. This amount corresponds to 0.5% of the total transaction, because the footballer represented the eagles at the beginning of his career.
This amount joins the 121 million euros that the encarnada board had already earned from the direct sale of the Argentine international to Chelsea in January 2023, when the blues paid the player's release clause.
While at the Blues, Enzo Fernández even wore the captain's armband and achieved impressive numbers in British football, completing 170 official matches as a midfielder.
