Benfica may be looking to strengthen their attacking department for the demands of the current season. The club’s hierarchy has placed striker Kaio Jorge on the list of targets to be closely monitored in Brazilian football.

According to transfer market specialist Ekrem Konur, Benfica face strong competition from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. The journalist says the young Cruzeiro goalscorer is being closely watched by several European clubs.

The list of clubs keeping an eye on the forward’s progress in Europe also includes Aston Villa, Milan, and Fiorentina. His strong performances in the Brasileirão have put him at the center of attention for the upcoming transfer windows.

The Belo Horizonte club has set the asking price for his transfer at between €40 million and €45 million. The fee demanded is justified by the existence of a future sell-on clause held by Juventus in negotiations for Kaio Jorge.

. However, our newspaper recently reported that the Brazilian forward is not in the Eagles’ plans.
