As this is an operation that includes variables, Italian sources say that the Morumbi club will receive around 5 million reales for the transfer of the Benfica player to Napoli, which would translate to around 840,000 euros at the current exchange rate.
With his imminent arrival at Napoli, David Neres once again increases, for the third time, the number that São Paulo has been adding over the years thanks to its various transfers.
According to ESPN Brasil , Neres has earned São Paulo around €23.6 million in his various transfers thanks to the FIFA mechanism, including his final transfer in 2017. This, considering that he was originally sold to Ajax for €17.4 million, is remarkable to say the least.
