Now to confirm that this € 70m loan will be fully subscribed until May 21, this will be the largest bond loan in Portuguese football history, surpassing Benfica’s € 60m loan launched in 2017.

It is precisely for this reason that FC Porto announced the launch of two loans, not one. However, if the full € 70 million subscription is confirmed, the second subscription will not be necessary.

“The applications collected today correspond to 10 percent of the total requests collected so far and 7 percent of the total amount,” he said.
