Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) signs Gonzalo Hamus (22‧ Benfica).
European transfer market expert Fabricio Romano said on the 22nd (hereinafter Korean time) with the transfer confirmation signal “HERE WE GO”, “Hamus is 토토사이트 moving to PSG. A verbal agreement was reached on the transfer fee of 80 million euros (approximately 115 billion won), and the document is being prepared. It consists of a basic transfer fee of 65 million euros (approximately 93.5 billion won) and an add-on of 15 million euros (approximately 21.5 billion won).”
He added, “It is a lease with a mandatory transfer clause in 2024 due to PSG’s financial fair play issues. Hamus is scheduled to undergo a medical test next week. It is a recruitment that PSG general manager Luis Campos wanted and has signed a long-term contract.” .
PSG needed a forward striker. This is because the future of Kylian Mbappe is uncertain, and only Hugo Ekitike remains. Ekitike is a good prospect, but it is unreasonable to entrust the entire 2023-24 season right away. Accordingly, PSG turned their attention to Benfica Hamus.
Hamus was born in 2001 and is a 22-year-old young striker. He is from Benfica youth and started to be used in earnest from the last 2021-22 season. It exploded properly in the 2022-23 season. He played 47 official games, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists. Thanks to Hamus’ performance, Benfica won the league championship and showed a blast in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Hamus, who is 185 cm tall, has solid physicality and is good at playing in the front. He has the linking ability to concede a pass to his teammates through this. He is good with his left foot as well as his right foot, which is his main shot when it comes to shooting, so his scoring production is excellent. He also has speed and his off-the-ball moves are very threatening. He is a striker with many advantages.
PSG invested a significant transfer fee to recruit Hamus. Multiple media such as Portugal’s ‘Hekord’ and ‘Avola’ also reported that the price was 80 million euros, consisting of a basic 65 million euros and an add-on of 15 million euros.
However, first of all, the 2023-24 season will be held on lease terms. This is to ensure PSG’s adherence to financial fair play. A mandatory transfer clause was also included, but there are conditions. Regarding this, Pedro Sepulveda, who is familiar with the Portuguese transfer market, explained that “a transfer is only mandatory if PSG advances to the Champions League.” The conditions to achieve it are very easy, so it can be seen as a complete transfer.
Sepulveda said Hamus will miss the Portuguese Super Cup match between Benfica and Porto on the 10th. It is expected that the transfer will be completed after undergoing a medical test within that time.
