Aursnes targeted, but Benfica want more for Bruno Lage | OneFootball

In the start of the current season, Fredrik Aursnes has been the bet, aside from Bruno Lage as right winger, just like what happened in the five official games already played. However, despite the Norwegian giving guarantees, Benfica intends to hire an athlete who is a native of that position, to increase the set of options for the team from Setúbal.

Considered a priority acquisition at the beginning of the market, the matter has been losing importance with Aursnes' adaptation, who has been responding well in this season start. However, even with the Norwegian giving guarantees, the club's structure still considers hiring a natural winger.

It's worth remembering that the hiring of a player for this position, which has already had some names on the table, such as Anis Hadj Moussa, Antony or, more recently, Roger Fernandes, must meet a requirement that Bruno Lage set, being left-footed, that is, giving priority to the use of the left foot.

On the other hand, the eagles are now thinking of hiring only one winger, since Kerem Akturkoglu will remain with the eagles on his chest, after the deal with Fenerbahçe fell through. About the Turk, the national press reveals that the Reds are considering presenting a renewal to the player.

However, being a necessity for the Reds and Whites, the arrival of a winger is no longer at the top of the priorities, since Benfica is in the market to close the hiring of a creative midfielder, after Mohamed Amoura's transfer failed.
