Atlético de Madrid has definitively completed the departure of Samu Aghehowa to FC Porto, receiving an additional 12 million euros for the transfer of the remaining percentage of his rights. With this operation, the red and white club considers closed a sale that has brought a total of 32 million into its coffers for a player who never officially debuted with the first team.

Samu, signed from Granada for six million in September 2023 after standing out in his La Liga debut, was quickly loaned to Alavés, where he had a notable season with eight goals. However, his progression accelerated even further after moving to Portugal, where he shone with Porto scoring 27 goals in 45 matches in the 2024-25 season.

🚨🐉 FC Porto have now agreed deal to own 100% of Samu from Atlético Madrid.

FC Porto activated the option to buy 15% for €5m and also negotiated to buy the remaining 20% for €7m.

In the initial agreement between both clubs, Porto had acquired half of the forward's rights for 15 million. Later, they exercised two successive purchase options: first, an additional 15% for five million and now the remaining 35% for another 10 million, split into two payments (five already paid and another five to complete the total).

Samu, targeted by the Premier League

The Portuguese club, now the absolute owner of the striker, has shielded against the growing interest of several Premier League teams. Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Chelsea have inquired about his situation, but O Dragão has already set the price: they won't budge for less than 80 million.

The operation becomes one of the most profitable for Atlético in recent years, multiplying by over fivefold the initial investment in a player they believed in from the start and who is now shining far from the Metropolitano.
