That makes sense because any money spent on Youth Development isn't included.
However, I still don't believe the Youth Development definitions mean player purchases, rather building on the youth infrastructure.
Comparing decades is difficult and pointless. What needs to be said is that he was decades ahead of his time with what he could do on the ball. Much like Di Stefano.
An icon that transcends the sport itself.
There is still no chance a January deal happens.
Enzo Fernandez is 'very inclined' to leave Benfica in January to join #Chelsea.

Man It's the hope that kills you. Has to be the most expensive Premier League signing if this happens surely?
If true Benfica would be mad to turn this down given they are what, generating a 1000% profit? Fernandez' stock will never be this high.
Nothing against winning the Euro but he's gone without qualifying for the WC twice now. Failing out of the group stage his only participation.
His club/domestic accomplishments are hardly inspiring when you consider his quality. Winning Ligue 1 with PSG is the equivalent of winning a bicycle race with a Formula One vehicle. A player of his quality should've been destined for greater things.
