Alessandro Circati impresses at Seixal, could debut for Benfica against Aarhus | OneFootball

Benfica, 3-1 up from the first leg at Estádio da Luz, could hand new signing Alessandro Circati a debut against Aarhus.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Australian centre-back has impressed Marco Silva during training at Seixal and could be named in the squad.

He joined from Parma for 18 million euros, with a further 2 million in bonuses, arrived in Lisbon on Wednesday, the 19th, and was presented hours later.

Having completed pre-season with Parma, he arrived in good condition, easing his early adaptation. After the first leg, Marco Silva said they believe he will adapt quickly and that he is here to compete for a starting place. He added that if he lacked quality he would not be at the club, and that being at Parma is not the same as being at Benfica.

The Europa League play-off second leg is scheduled for Thursday, 27 August at 19:00, at Randers Stadion in Denmark.
