Transfer DetailsContract Information
Type: Permanent
Transfer Notes: Signed outright from Parma on 19 August 2026 for a reported 18 million euros with a further 2 million in objective bonuses; the Italian press frames the package as about 20 million. THE FIXED FEE IS WHAT IS WRITTEN - a bonus that has not been earned is not part of what Benfica has paid. PARMA ANNOUNCED IT, Benfica had not: Parma's own site says he was ceduto a titolo definitivo allo SL Benfica, while Marco Silva said the same afternoon that it was ainda nao e oficial and the player had landed in Lisbon at three minutes past ten that morning for the medical. The selling club saying so in its own words is enough for the movement; Benfica's own announcement of 19 August 2026 gives the contract as five years, to June 2031, and UEFA's Europa League squad list has him at number 3. No release clause or sell-on has been published by either club, and none is claimed.

Koln retained a 10 per cent sell-on. Koln had themselves only just bought him from Wolfsburg, which is why some databases name Wolfsburg as the seller.

Notes: Sold outright to Newcastle United on 18 August 2026 for 35,900,000 euros for 100 per cent of the rights, announced by both clubs and filed with the CMVM. Benfica keep 17.94 PER CENT OF THE CAPITAL GAIN on a future transfer. Newcastle carry the 5 per cent solidarity contribution and 10 per cent in intermediary costs, and a share of the net gain is owed to Red Bull Salzburg - Record and The Mag say 15 per cent, A Bola says 10, and the two disagree so neither figure is claimed here. He signed five years, to June 2031, and took the number 37 on his twenty-fourth birthday. The 35 million that circulated for three days beforehand is superseded by the clubs own 35.9.
