Star shining under Abel Ferreira catches Benfica's eye | OneFootball

The Argentine press is reporting that Flaco López, a forward who has been standing out at Palmeiras, is being tracked by Benfica. According to the same source, the Albiceleste player, currently on international duty, appeals to the club’s red-and-white decision-makers.

This is how Benfica enters the equation. The Argentine newspaper adds that the São Paulo club is more inclined to negotiate the striker’s transfer with European clubs, knowing they have greater financial capacity to reach an agreement. However, the Eagles are not alone in this race.

El Crack Deportivo reports that Palmeiras have set an asking price of around €40 million, which is somewhat beyond Benfica’s ambitions. Besides the Eagles, clubs such as Bologna and Atlético Madrid, who are looking for a partner for Julián Álvarez, are also following Flaco López.

It should also be noted that earlier this season, Benfica completed the signing of Richard Ríos from Palmeiras, with the midfielder becoming the Eagles’ most expensive signing, after they paid the São Paulo club around €27 million for the Colombian.
