The market hasn't ended for the "big ones," but we already know what changed

Público2 September 2026 at 19:58

The transfer market hasn't ended for the big clubs, but strategies have changed significantly. FC Porto, Sporting, and Benfica adapted their approaches during this season, revealing different philosophies of investment and squad renewal.

The champion, which probably refers to Benfica who won the title, barely made any significant changes to its squad. This stability contrasts with the approach of the other big clubs that were "forced" to change due to different circumstances.

The challenging clubs had to reinvent themselves in the market, looking for more economical solutions or alternatives to traditional investments. This change reflects the new financial realities of Portuguese and European football.

The keyword that defines this season for the three big clubs is precisely adaptation. Each club found its own way to respond to the market challenges, whether through stability or forced renewal.
