Jesús: «Rúben Semedo wants to come and work with me but Olympiacos put all the chips on the table» – Benfica

This Saturday Jorge Semedo took on Rúben Semedo’s interest in coming to play for Benfica. At a press conference prior to the match against Farense (tomorrow, 6:30 pm), the Benfica coach regretted that Olympiacos had put “all the chips on the table” to hinder the deal.

“He is one of the players who was a priority for Benfica. Because he is Portuguese. Because he has been working with me for a year. So, as you know, there is a limit on registrations in the European leagues. Rúben left and a foreigner entered. The other factor is his is more player, I have seen Olympiacos games … He is in the national team, more year less year he will start. I do not have much hope. Olympiacos realized that we were very interested and wanted to put all of them the chips on the table. Or they take the chips and it could be an opportunity … The player wants to come to Portugal and Benfica, he wants to work with me “.
