Shakhtar D. paid €12.0m for Lucas Ferreira. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 7th largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bernard | Atlético-MG | €25.0m | 2013/14 |
| Pedrinho | Benfica | €18.0m | 2021/22 |
| Kauã Elias | Fluminense | €17.0m | 2024/25 |
| Taison | Metalist Kharkiv | €15.2m | 2012/13 |
| Tetê | Grêmio | €15.0m | 2018/19 |
| Kevin | Palmeiras | €14.8m | 2023/24 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
