Benfica’s top management, made up of President Luís Filipe Vieira, SAD Rui Costa’s administrator, General Manager Tiago Pinto, met yesterday in a meeting with Jorge Jesús to take stock of the transfer market. The embodied technician is pressing SAD to have more reinforcements, especially in the attack, a sector considered weaker and to which new faces can arrive.
Just over two weeks before the first official match, the third qualifying round of the Champions on September 15 or 16 against AZ Alkmaar, Rapid Vienna or PAOK, Jesús wants more players, in time for them to be an option in qualifying for the phase of groups. of the Champions League, the first draw is tomorrow.
Negotiated negotiations with Edinson Cavani, Benfica turned to other players. The two forwards on the reinforcements list are Mariano Díaz and Darwin Núñez. The agreement with Almería for the Uruguayan international is complicated and increasingly inflated.
The 21-year-old forward is a request from the red coach, who appreciates the player’s characteristics, but competition from other clubs is causing Benfica to spend more than they wanted. In a first phase, the eagles were not willing to give more than 15 million euros, but the stop is already at 23 million euros, a sum that Almería did not accept. In relation to Mariano Díaz, the forward linked to Real Madrid awaits contact with the Reds.
