Benfica negotiating Daichi Kamada for next season

We’re talking about a contract strategy and discussion, of course it’s about the money.

Frankfurt I would even argue is a “bigger club” than Spurs in that alternative view you just presented. It’s a common expression to use “bigger” as synonymous with money. I even made sure to give Benfica a lot of credit in my answer as a very good club, who if the player was in a different stage of his career would be the better choice than Frankfurt. There’s no need to get upset.

You’re still giving the Portuguese championship and Benfica’s ability to sell on to “bigger clubs” too much credit here if I’m being honest. The point of going to Benfica for a lot of players is to be able to be in the position Kamada already finds himself in. He’s about to get that step up to a bigger club.

Finishing 4th in the PL and getting paid 3x as much is the clear better choice for a 27 year old player who has surged later in his career than winning the Portuguese league. There’s really no shame in admitting that, that’s true for almost every league.
