Luís Filipe Vieira believes that he can complete the transfer for almost free or for a nominal amount.
The reds’ rear should be closed with the arrival of another center-back and the name that is being negotiated, as we have already reported, is Rúben Semedo, a former Sporting player who can now address Luz in a transfer that could be concluded. virtually effortless from Benfica’s coffers. This is, at least, the intention of Luís Filipe Vieira, and the president of the Eagles has already informed, through an intermediary, that he has receivables, exceeding seven million euros, which can now be discounted in this operation .
In fact, and as it appears in the red accounts, Evangelos Marinakis, president of the Olympiacos Greeks and owner of the English of Nottingham Forest, still owes an amount of around five million euros, as a result of the hiring of João Carvalho from Benfica . , for 15 million euros, to strengthen the British club. To this amount, Luís Filipe Vieira now adds more than two million for the visit of Pêpê, from V. Guimarães to the Greek emblem, since Benfica owned 50 percent of the midfielder’s pass.
Accounts made, and taking into account that Benfica values Rúben Semedo at seven to eight million euros, the president of the Eagles intends to have the 26-year-old Portuguese international without any investment, although it is admitted in Luz that there may be a slight added to finish the business carried out by businessman Ulisses Santos. This agent, who also represents Pêpê, a reinforcement made official by Olympiacos on Monday, remains in Greece with the aim of promoting the transfer of the player who left Sporting in 2017 to join the Spaniards from Villarreal, in exchange for 14 million euros .
The incarnated have anticipated that this could be a decisive week to finalize this negotiation process, coinciding with the probable recovery of Rúben Semedo, who was diagnosed with Covid-19 on the 21st of last month, and the central has been isolated since then. . Therefore, Portugal’s call to the Nations League failed, but it will soon be able to be fully restored, allowing the player to travel and the officials incarnate to finalize the deal in time to enter it in the League two tie. Champions, scheduled for the 15th, curiously against the Greeks of PAOK and in Greece.
In this negotiation process, Benfica counts on the player as a strong ally, given that its objective is to return to Portugal, seeing Benfica’s interest as a great door to continue a career that was tainted by the five months in prison he had. to face. comply in 2018 for allegedly assaulting and threatening a man at his residence with an illegal weapon. After that period, he played in Huesca and Rio Ave, was called up to the national team and joined Olympiacos. Now Benfica is on the horizon.
