Porto bought William Gomes for €9 million in January 2025. Eighteen months later, they want €60 million to let him go.
The 20-year-old Brazilian winger has emerged as one of the more interesting young talents in Portuguese football, attracting serious attention from Manchester United as the summer transfer window approaches. Porto’s asking price sits at roughly £39 million, down from the €80 million release clause originally written into his contract, but still a significant multiple of what the club paid São Paulo to bring him over.
What Porto actually have here
Gomes, born in March 2006, plays primarily on the right wing and has appeared in 34 matches for Porto since arriving from Brazil, scoring 8 goals along the way.
His current market valuation sits at €25 million, which means Porto’s asking price of €60 million is already a significant premium over what independent assessments suggest he’s worth.
