From Benfica's official site:

À Comissão dos Mercados de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM), o Clube da Luz informa que receberá mais cinco milhões de euros por cada 50 jogos oficiais disputados pelo internacional português ao seviço do clube espanhol.

If I understand this correctly we'll have to pay 5M after he'll play 50 official games.

If he is our starter for 5 years paying that extra 20-30M would be totally worth it. If that is the kind of deal we made base price should have been 20M or something. Market of RB's is very bad though. Right now any Right Back will add value to the squad.

Thats not much. Even flops like Andre Gomes played 47 games last season. So its guaranteed to be 35m.

You can't really use him as an example because despite his consistently poor performances he was always among the coach's favorite players.

I was looking through transfermarkt and apparently Semedo is the first player that directly came from Benfica to us since Robert Enke (RIP) which was over 15 years ago. Gomes came through Benfica's system but we directly bought him from Valencia.
