Renato Sanches: the €80M man coveted by the big clubs

He cost €750 euro nine years ago, but now this promising young prospect is worth €80M, his buyout-clause from Benfica.

Nine years ago he cost Benfica just 750 euros.

The eighteen year-old has established himself in the Benfica first team and is attracting the interest of Europe's powerhouses.

Benfica have upped his buy-out clause to 80m euros in the face of Real Madrid interest.

He'll be nineteen in August.

The youngster was thrown in at the deep-end with a debut in the Champions' League against Astana and since then has become a regular in the first eleven, particularly in the more challenging matches.
