As expected and reported a few weeks ago, the president of the Benfica, Rui Costaconfirmed this Thursday, the 13th, the club’s interest in the goalkeeper Benedictof Athletico-PR. Despite this, the representative demonstrated that the negotiation will only happen in the “financial rigor” of the Portuguese team, and that he is in no hurry.
With the whole team in England undergoing pre-season, Costa said he is still evaluating his squad, and that he has time to define needs, as the window closes only at the end of August. Even so, he assured that the club will have reinforcements, always talking about the current financial limit.
“I don’t know if Bento is coming or not. We have an ambitious sports plan, but with great financial rigor. Bento and others will arrive if Benfica so wishes from a sporting and financial point of view“, he said about the Brazilian goalkeeper who is a highlight of the Hurricane and lives his third season as the team’s starter.
According to the Brazilian press, Hurricane has already rejected a proposal of 5 million euros (R$ 26.9 million) for the player, and intends to get twice as much, making the biggest sale of a goalkeeper in Brazilian football. The current record is held by Alisson, who left Internacional at Pomegranate for the same 5 million euros (R$ 21.1 million at the time).
Besides him, Benfica would also be interested in Elia Caprile, 21-year-old striker for Bari, in the Italian second division. According to local newspapers, the Italian club would have already refused a proposal of 4 million euros with 20% of a future sale. O napoli is another team that monitors the young defender.
