Benfica and Santos may be closer to closing the gap with Lucas Veríssimo, a 25-year-old Brazilian defender who is one of the names on Jorge Jesús’ agenda for the center of defense.
Two days after the window of the transfer market in Portugal closes, Jesús does not abandon the need to have another central defender in the squad and given the intransigence of Olympiakos in the negotiation of Rúben Semedo, the Eagles make one last effort to close Lucas’s contract. Very true.
The central Santos was in Jesus’ options from the first hour, although the fact of being a foreigner led SAD incarnate to choose the limit to test the Portuguese international who plays in Greece.
Lucas Veríssimo was also investigated in the last hours by FC Porto, who was informed of the conditions with Santos and the player’s salary. SC Braga also tried to be hired, but the required salary was not compatible with Braga’s payroll.
Everything indicates, therefore, that the eagles finalize details to bring the central in a deal that could be around € 6/7 M.
