The generous contract that Rúben Semedo has waiting for Benfica

The Olympiacos center-back wants to play for Benfica and already knows what he will win if his presence in the 2020/21 squad is confirmed.

Benfica are striving to quickly close the hiring of Rúben Semedo, Portuguese central defender at the service of Olympiacos. Negotiations have been ongoing for some time, but there is still no green light from Greek leaders for the transfer of the plant. While trying to close the deal with the Greek champion, Luís Filipe Vieira has already told Rúben Semedo that a generous contract awaits him, valued at a clean million euros a year. In other words, you will earn twice what you currently earn with the Greece capital emblem.

Olympiacos coach Pedro Martins does not want to lose the player, but the truth is that he already has his return to Portugal to defend the colors of Benfica, after having represented rival Sporting. In fact, Semedo has already said “yes” to those incarnated, assuming, from the first hour, the desire to embrace a new project under the command of Jorge Jesús, with whom he worked at Alvalade and who never hid his fascination for the qualities of the center – consider – the quick and expert in the game of the head.

Semedo is considered one of the key elements of the team and is valued by Olympiacos at around 10 million euros, an amount that the Reds refuse to pay. Just as O GOGO made timely progress, Luís Filipe Vieira intends to collect dividends from the loans, in excess of seven million euros, which can be discounted in this transfer. Evangelos Marinakis, the controversial president of the Olympiacos Greeks and the English owner of Nottingham Forest, still owes around five million euros to Benfica, the result of the hiring of midfielder João Carvalho, who was sold to the English club for 15 million euros. In addition, SAD adds two million more for Pêpê, of V. Guimarães, to the Greek emblem, since Benfica had 50 percent of the midfielder’s pass. In summary, and taking into account that Benfica values ​​Rúben Semedo between seven and eight million euros, the president of the Eagles intends to have the 26-year-old Portuguese international without any investment.
