1.95m defender on Benfica’s radar, Rui Costa already knows the asking price | OneFootball

The German press reports that Benfica has inquired about Julian Chabot. According to the same source, the Club of Light, led by Rui Costa, still trying to close the deal for André Luiz, has shown interest in the German center-back, who currently plays for Stuttgart. However, the Eagles are not alone in the race for the 1.95-meter footballer.

German Sky Sports, in addition to Benfica, reported that the 27-year-old center-back is also on the list of potential reinforcements for Roma, one of the prominent clubs in Italy's Serie A. The same source explains that both clubs have already taken the first steps in negotiating with the athlete's representatives to gather some information.

The same television station suggests that Chabot's recent change of agency could mean that the German is considering a transfer soon. However, it seems that Stuttgart is not interested in letting go of the footballer, at least in the January market.

With Benfica interested in his signing, the Bundesliga club is open to negotiating Chabot at the end of the season, when the summer market opens. With this scenario in mind, the German press reports that Stuttgart has set the asking price for the athlete at around 20 million euros.

This season, wearing the Stuttgart jersey, Julian Chabot — valued at 15 million euros — has already played around 20 official matches: 14 in the Bundesliga, three in the Europa League, two in the DFB-Pokal, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,672 minutes he played, the athlete, who is under contract until 2028, delivered high-level performances.
