Juventus renew pursuit, eye Benfica’s key man since 2021 | OneFootball

Rui Pedro Braz is still officially at Benfica, but the Portuguese name continues to attract interest in the market. After being linked to clubs in Saudi Arabia, this Friday it's Juventus' turn to set their sights on the Benfica executive.

The Italian newspaper "Tuttosport" reports this Friday on the Italian club's interest. However, the Turin-based club, which had made contact in the past, is aware of the interest from the Arab Public Investment Fund for a position related to international market management.

The 47-year-old Portuguese executive was recently photographed in the stands watching Al Ahli - Al Hilal, but besides these clubs, there are more interested in hiring him, with Rui Pedro Braz still waiting to choose the best project to continue his career.

The same source also reports that one of the names considered was Matteo Tognozzi, but he was completely ruled out after signing with Rio Ave. The former sports commentator took on a role at Benfica in June 2021 and is now leaving four years later.

The most recent change in the technical command of Clube da Luz, with Bruno Lage being dismissed and José Mourinho (who made a demand to the players) arriving to take the reins of the team, did not involve any intervention from Rui Pedro Braz, but rather from Mário Branco.
