Noronha Lopes speaks of “worrying coincidence” in the involvement of Paulo Gonçalves in the Darwin business – Benfica

After Paulo Gonçalves explained his role in the negotiation For the signing of striker Darwin Núñez for Benfica, João Noronha Lopes, candidate for the Incarnados presidential elections, spoke of a “worrying coincidence”.

“Two years have passed since Paulo Gonçalves left the SAD legal department to prepare his defense. It would send common sense – and a minimum of institutional responsibility – that those involved in this case choose to maintain a certain distance in their positions. It is therefore surprising that Benfica’s business continues to intersect with Paulo Gonçalves’, almost always in circumstances that Benfica fans cannot understand. At least it is a worrying coincidence and it continues to cause reputational damage, “he said.

“Two years have passed since Paulo Gonçalves left the SAD legal department to prepare his defense. It would send common sense – and a minimum of institutional responsibility – that those involved in this case choose to maintain a certain distance in their positions.

It is therefore amazing that Benfica’s business continues to intersect with that of Paulo Gonçalves, almost always in circumstances that Benfica fans cannot understand. At the very least, it’s a troubling coincidence and continues to cause reputational damage.

But the evidence suggests something more serious. They tell us that Luís Filipe Vieira is today a president who defends interests that do not coincide with those of Benfica.

We urgently need to end this cycle and make room for new players. That’s what I’ll do “.
