Premier League transfers, wages and agent fees could be exposed in club's revolutionary 'transparency portal'

A club has launched a 'Transparency Portal' in a move that could expose Premier League transfers, wages and agent fees in the future.

Porto have revolutionised transfers, having launched a system called a 'Transparency Portal' for fans and the public.

Information around several sectors will be made available, including transfer fees, player wages, agent commissions and more.

In a statement, the Portuguese outfit called the portal a 'pioneering platform', saying: "In this area, Porto publishes relevant information on institutional, organisational, economic-financial, planning and contractual matters, in accordance with the commitment to Transparency assumed by the club's Management.

"Through this Portal, in accordance with the highest international standards of transparency and access to information, Porto intends to be accountable to its members, partners, shareholders and other investors in the Group's companies.

"Porto's transparency policy is subject to a process of permanent monitoring, reassessment, auditing and review."

So, any future deals with English clubs could be made open to the public.

Porto have done business with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool over the years, with Fabio Vieira and Luis Diaz leaving Portugal for England's top flight.

The details regarding those transfers would have been made available to fans and the public if they happened after the launch of the portal.

This summer, Porto sold Evanilson, who scored 25 goals in all competitions last season, to Bournemouth, who splashed out a club-record fee of £40.2 million to acquire his services.

David Carmo also departed the club, joining Nottingham Forest for £12.7 million.

Again, like Vieira and Diaz, had those deals happened after the launch of the portal, then information regarding the transfers of Evanilson and Carmo would have been made available to fans and the public.
