Benfica and Nice agree deal for Tiago Gouveia, transfer fee revealed | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia is indeed leaving Benfica. According to the national sports press, the 24-year-old winger is expected to be officially announced at Nice, the French club, in the coming days, in a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option, which should be set at around 8 million euros.

However, according to the same sources, Tiago Gouveia's departure - who put on a show after the derby with Sporting - will only proceed after the decisive Champions League match against José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe. At the moment, Rui Costa wants the entire squad to be fully focused on the prestigious competition, which is of utmost importance for the Eagles.

With limited opportunities in Bruno Lage's team, Tiago Gouveia is looking to relaunch his career. After a season where he spent most of the time injured, the winger trained at Clube da Luz wants to showcase all his quality and is expected to sign with Nice, where he has been promised several opportunities to shine.

It should be noted that, at the start of last season, still under Roger Schmidt's management, Tiago Gouveia was close to leaving Benfica. However, his performance against Casa Pia, where he scored a goal and provided an assist, halted the deal, and shortly after, the winger ended up suffering a serious injury.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Tiago Gouveia – valued at 4 million euros – has played only three matches: Sporting (Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira), Estrela da Amadora (Liga Portugal Betclic), and Fenerbahçe (Champions League). In total, the winger has only 18 minutes of playtime.
