Most expensive player sales from Porto

We take a look at the top 10 most expensive player sales from Porto.

• Nico Gonzalez (€60.00m)

Nico Gonzalez's €60.00m move to Manchester City in the 2024/25 January transfer window earns him top spot in the list.

The Citizens' poor start to the campaign forced them to spend big in January, adding the ex-Barcelona defensive midfielder to bolster their engine room.

• Otavio (€60.00m)

Otavio, like Gonzalez, left Porto for a €60.00m fee, joining Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

The versatile Brazilian spent nine years at the Portuguese club, winning three Primeira Liga titles between 2014 and 2023.

• Luis Diaz (€53.00m)

Luis Diaz has been integral to Liverpool's forward line since joining the club in 2022, winning the FA Cup and EFL Cup in his opening campaign.

He joined the Reds for €53.00m, netting four goals and contributing to three assists in his debut Premier League season.

• Eder Militao (€50.00m)

Eder Militao's €50.00m move to Real Madrid was highly discussed in 2019, emerging as one of Europe's brightest cenral defenders.

While a variety of serious injuries have hindered his game time at Los Blancos, Militao has still won the La Liga on three occasions with the club, alongside two UEFA Champions League honours.

• Galeno (€50.00m)

Galeno, like Otavio, made the direct switch from Porto to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ahli on 31st January 2025.

The Brazilian enjoyed two separate spells at Porto, leaving the club in 2019 and returning in 2022.

• Eliaquim Mangala (€45.00m)

Manchester City added Eliaquim Mangala to their defence in 2014, signing for a €45.00m fee which made him one of the most expensive central defenders in Premier League history at the time.

The Frenchman now plays his football at Portuguese side Estoril.

• James Rodriguez (€45.00m)

James Rodriguez is undoubtedly one of Porto's most gifted players in recent years, spending three years at the club between 2010 and 2013.

He won the league title on three occasions, also claiming European silverware in the form of the UEFA Europa League in 2011.

• Vitinha (€41.50m)

Paris Saint-Germain's €41.50m acquisition of Vitinha is looking like a bargain up to now, proving himself as one of the most consistent midfielders in recent UEFA Champions League campaigns.

Vitinha spent 11 years at Porto, joining the youth setup in 2011 before departing in 2020.

• Fabio Silva (€40.00m)

Fabio Silva's €40.00m move to Wolverhampton Wanderers was eagerly anticipated in 2020, though he has struggled to hit the ground running in the Premier League, enjoying four separate loan spells since his arrival.

Aged just 22, the Portuguese forward still has plenty of time to impress.

• Hulk (€40.00m)

Hulk spent four impressive years at Porto, winning the title four times before making the move to Russia to represent Zenit Saint Petersburg.

He scored 77 times in 169 games for Porto, also contributing with 65 assists.
