This summer, the Lisbon "Benfica" team remained true to its traditions. Every off-season, the Portuguese club sells at least one of its players at a high price, and the total amount of money received has already reached 1.4 billion euros. This summer, "Benfica" already made a big deal and sent forward Darwin Nunez to "Liverpool" for 75 million euros. The sales of the Lisbon club peaked over a decade ago, when striker Angel Di Maria was transferred to "Real" for 33 million euros. After this deal, "Benfica" simply started swimming in money, and the team's record was broken by the transfer of striker Joao Felix (127 million euros) to Madrid's "Atletico".
