The president of Benfica is counting on the sale of the best scorer of the last championship as a way to boost investment. Flamengo shows openness and is already waiting for negotiations
Jorge Jesús assured this week that he is still waiting for a central defender, but the red coach’s order list, you know O JOGO, again includes a steering wheel and both were worked on by you at Flamengo.
These are Gerson and Bruno Henrique, objectives that will be discussed again with those responsible for the Rio de Janeiro emblem, and it is true that Benfica has already set a goal to close the deal: 35 million euros for the two players .
Flamengo closed the door after the 23-year-old midfielder and the 29-year-old forward when Jorge Jesús joined Benfica, but now the opening is different, mainly because the players want to emigrate. “There are players who have been gone for a long time. One goes to Benfica, another goes I don’t know where. He’s the father of one who talks to the other … but they are still there,” said Marcos Braz, vice president of El fútbol de Fla, referring to Gerson’s father, who has been pushing for his son to move to Luz.
Although he pointed out that “they have a contract and termination clauses of 40, 50 million”, Marcos Braz left the door open. “We will be at the table to discuss, but so far there is nothing. There in Portugal they are excited to take the players,” he added, at a press conference held after the defeat (5-0) suffered against Independiente del Valle, Copa. Libertadores, with Gerson starting but replaced at 65 “and Bruno Henrique replaced at halftime, after two games out of the call.
If, on the one hand, Flamengo seeks to secure some fit, even to face the high share of expenses with a highly valued workforce and the huge drop in income due to the pandemic, on the other hand there is a Benfica that has other businesses to complete Workforce reform requested by Jorge Jesús when he agreed to leave the Brazilian champion. The departure from the Champions League path created a hole in the accounts, but the plans point at least to a big sale that exceeds the investment still planned.
In this context, due to the indications that reached Luz from Jorge Mendes, the transfer of Carlos Vinícius is a very real scenario until the closing of the market window, on October 6, always for amounts greater than 40 million euros. euros, an amount that will be diverted to the hiring process of Gerson and Bruno Henrique. And the weight of the deal is seen as affordable by Luís Filipe Vieira because the expectation is a long-term payment, as was achieved in most of the already insured reinforcements.
Jorge Jesús is surprised by Taarabt’s performance, but he intends to keep demand high and considers that the hiring of Gerson will only be possible at this stage, which will allow him to have an 8 that attacks and defends with the same dynamics. Bruno Henrique, on the other hand, only makes sense to lose options in an attack where Darwin, Seferovic, Waldschmidt, Pizzi and … Carlos Vinícius are already, and the Flamengo forward has the speed and reading of the game that the coach admires.
