With the hiring of Darwin Núñez for 24 million euros, Benfica has already surpassed the highest investment record in a squad in Portugal, the 63.5 million that the eagles had spent in 2019/20.
With the signing of Darwin Núñez to Almería for the official value of 24 million euros, Benfica, under the leadership of Luís Filipe Vieira, took another leap in terms of transfer spending, moving the current president’s general investment to a total of 569 million euros.
But most of this expense was even to train the squads of Jorge Jesús, to whom the eagle leader has offered the most expensive reinforcements in the club’s history. Counting the first six seasons of the amateur as a coach in Luz, between 2009 and 2015 and the current one, until today, Vieira has invested more than 303 million euros in Jesus’ squads alone, that is, more than 50 percent of expenses . throughout his tenure from 2003/04 as president.
O GOGO’s accounting makes it clear that Jesus is the coach, in Vieira’s time, with whom the largest investments were made. Rui Vitória (€ 114.68 million) and Bruno Lage also appear on the podium of the technicians who have benefited the most from the incarnations of the red leader. It crossed two market windows (winter 2019 and summer 2020) and saw a spend of € 63.5 million. This despite the fact that the coach put little use to Weigl, who cost € 20m last January, just before Lage left and saw Nélson Veríssimo enter the final stretch of the season.
Taking into account only the current preseason, and safeguarding that the market is open and the Reds continue to seek more reinforcements, 82 million euros have already been invested, which makes 2020/21 already at the time with more money invested in construction. of an eagle squad. Which also means that the record for the previous season was broken, the € 63.5 million mentioned above. The acquisitions of Darwin Núñez (€ 24M), Everton (20), Pedrinho (18), Waldschmidt (15), Gilberto (3) and Helton Leite (2) are part of a strong market attack designed to create a Group of work capable of leaving its mark in the Champions League, a test for which the Eagles have not yet qualified, as they will have to overcome two qualifiers.
