Done deal! Benfica striker leaves for club near Milan | OneFootball

Benfica are set to complete another departure in this summer transfer window. Gustavo Varela, a 21-year-old forward, will indeed continue his career in the Italian League, where he will join Monza, a club located just a few kilometres from the city of Milan.

According to information reported by the Italian press, the Eagles will receive an immediate €2 million, with that amount potentially rising to €3.5 million depending on certain objectives. The Eagles have also secured 20% of any future transfer fee for the player, who has signed a five-year deal with the Italian side.

The player, who split his youth development between Sporting, Benfica and PAOK, will join the squad of the club that returned to Serie A this season and which recently officially announced the arrival of Ricardo Mangas, signed from Sporting.

After a season on loan at Gil Vicente, the young Portuguese international posted numbers that attracted Monza’s interest. With no room in Marco Silva’s plans for the new season, the move appears to be the best solution for all parties, allowing Gustavo Varela to continue developing in a competitive league.
