Breaking news! Fresh update on Benfica’s interest in Resink | OneFootball

Breaking news: Benfica has dropped the dossier concerning the signing of Stije Resink. It has been determined that the Eagles, led by Rui Costa, decided to put an end to the negotiations after Groningen took a firm stance regarding their captain.

According to Sky Sports Switzerland, Benfica has given up trying to sign Stije Resink, after the Clube da Luz failed to convince Groningen to part with the Dutch midfielder during this winter market. It is known that the footballer was a highly desired target for José Mourinho.

The same source explains that Benfica and Groningen entered into a disagreement during the most recent negotiations, which led to the deal for Resink falling through. Although the player showed interest in moving to Luz, this scenario will not materialize, contrary to what the press has reported in recent days.

After presenting an offer around 7 million euros, Benfica, according to the Swiss press, publicly accused the Dutch club of promoting the athlete for marketing purposes, at the expense of the Eagles' interest, without ever showing intentions to sell him. Thus, Clube da Luz gives up on Stije Resink.

This season, wearing the Groningen jersey, Stije Resink — valued at 7 million euros — has played a total of 21 official matches: 20 in the Eredivisie and one in the Cup. In the 1,857 minutes he was on the field, the 22-year-old midfielder recorded four goals and five assists.
