Benfica will be due half of any future transfer fee paid for Aberdeen star Luis 'Duk' Lopes, the striker has revealed.
The forward, 22, moved to Pittodrie in the summer in a deal reportedly worth up to £400,000.
However, Duk has explained that his former club will also be due 50 percent of any future transfer fee should he leave Aberdeen.
English Championship winners Burnley have been credited with an interest in Duk alongside Serie A duo Bologna and Spezia.
Speaking to O Jogo, Duk said: “I have a contract with Aberdeen for two more seasons, until June 2025.
“Benfica has 50% of my transfer. But right now I'm very happy here. I'm enjoying it a lot and I'm in no rush to leave here.
“I'm focused on Aberdeen and what I want is to keep scoring goals.”

Aberdeen manager Barry Robson accepts impressive performances will attract interest in his players but insists he is not considering a transfer exit for Duk currently.
He said: “Any player in the team, if you perform and win matches, if you’re a keeper it’s clean sheets, a midfielder it’s playing well or scoring as a striker, people take notice.
"If you’re doing your job, no matter what position you’re playing, then the more you do it the more people will look at you.
"But we are not thinking about that right now, he’s a humble kid who wants to do well and we have to keep feeding him.
“It suits Duk, the way we play. He’s on a good run of form, he’s got great pace and is enjoying his football. We just need to keep him up to speed with it and keep him going.
“He’s going to help us win games because he’s a good, humble kid who wants to do well and wants to learn.”
