Overview
- Benfica completed the transfer on Tuesday by activating Kaminski’s buyer exit clause and signed the 24-year-old to a contract running until 2031.
- Media reports place the fee at roughly €20 million, which would make it 1. FC Köln’s second-highest transfer receipt in club history.
- Köln had only just made Kaminski a permanent signing in June by exercising a reported €5.5 million purchase option and giving him a contract reportedly to 2030.
- Kaminski established himself as a regular starter last season, starting every league match and finishing with seven goals and five assists, which drew interest from top clubs.
- Transfermarkt published additional reported terms including a sell-on share for Köln and a €60 million release clause at Benfica, and Köln says it will reinvest the proceeds into the squad.
