Approval was needed from the country because Roman Abramovich obtained Portugese citizenship last year.
While Europe's permission was required, having followed Britain in sanctioning the Russian oligarch.
In a statement, Portuguese officials "gave authorisation" for the £4.25 billion sale to go ahead with the guarantee that proceeds "will be used for humanitarian purposes".
