The interim leader of Santos points out to Lucas Veríssimo to Luz: “All that is needed is the authorization of the Board of Directors.”
Jorge Jesús asked, Luís Filipe Vieira will give. After the hiring of Vertonghen, Otamendi and Todibo for the defensive axis, the Águilas coach insisted on having Lucas Veríssimo, the priority he defined from the first hour and that is a few details to be confirmed as a reinforcement for January.
The president of Santos, the 25-year-old central club, assumes the proximity of an official confirmation of the transfer.
In a brief contact, Orlando Rollo revealed to O JOGO that “everything is settled”, referring to the agreement between the two emblems and between Benfica and the player. And he added that now “he only needs the approval of the Board of Directors” of Santos, this is a requirement related to the fact that Rollo is in the direction of Peixe on an interim basis, with the club’s presidential elections scheduled for next 12 from December.
On the table of those responsible for the emblem of São Paulo there is a proposal that includes, according to O JOGO, an initial loan, with a mandatory purchase clause at the end. And it is this amount that is being estimated, around seven million euros and in an operation that will allow its leaders to immediately advance the amount for the settlement of urgent debts, which does not exclude the payment by the incarnate of more than five years. Luz’s offer, even so, is more advantageous than the one received from Al-Nassr, from Rui Vitória, paving the way for the signing of the central defender that Jorge Jesús, a few days ago, insisted on being an excellent player and his priority.
In the summer, the business did not advance, until the arrival of FC Porto was mentioned, a scenario denied by President Pinto da Costa. Orlando Rollo himself criticized the forms of payment, “which were a shame”, for the proposals he received, but now he sees the sale with different eyes. “The possible salvation of Santos until December could be the sale of a player. And what the market likes the most today is Lucas Veríssimo,” he told the “Canal do Santos FC” program on TV Com, highlighting by the local press that the club paid only 40% of October’s salary and that, in addition to the remaining 60%, it must pay 45% of the salary cut that occurred at the beginning of the pandemic. Three months of image rights and gaming prizes remain in arrears.
All the data are combined so that Lucas Veríssimo reinforces the Benfica squad at the beginning of January, which implies, immediately, the departure of one of the centrals that are currently at the disposal of Jorge Jesús. The three reinforcements from the beginning of the season will be maintained, the future of Captain Jardel will be analyzed again, but with only 16 minutes played so far, Ferro is the main candidate for a loan out, although the final evaluation is scheduled for the next weeks.
