Benfica eyeing winger who plays alongside Renato Sanches | OneFootball

Tetê is the latest athlete to appear on the target list. According to reports, the Brazilian footballer, who has been making a name for himself at Panathinaikos, where Renato Sanches also plays, is being considered by Benfica as another reinforcement for the January transfer window.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, in today’s edition, January 2, the Brazilian international, who has been at the Greek club for about a year and a half, was offered to Benfica’s management, who are looking to find more options for José Mourinho’s team on the wings.

The same source, as well as CNN Portugal, reports that Benfica has already started negotiations with Panathinaikos in order to sign the 25-year-old winger. Furthermore, O Jogo reveals that Benfica has the advantage of the Brazilian being open to a new direction in his career after his experience in Greece.

The same source adds that Benfica is not the only club interested in the 25-year-old player; clubs such as Villarreal, Grêmio — where he was developed — and Atlético Mineiro are also in the running. However, the Eagles have other options on the table, such as André Luiz and Wesley.

Tetê — currently valued at 11 million euros — has been one of the standout figures at the Greek club. This season, the Brazilian has already played 27 official matches for Panathinaikos, across both domestic and European competitions. In the 2,048 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number 10 has recorded two goals and seven assists.
