Benfica has already chosen the ideal Christmas gift to give to José Mourinho. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the structure led by Rui Costa has several targets identified for a position in need, and the final decision is about to be made, with the chosen player coming from abroad.
The club's scouting has shifted its focus exclusively to the international market. According to information gathered by Glorioso 1904, the domestic market was thoroughly analyzed, but no name pleased José Mourinho. The requirements are extremely high, and the new player must add immediate value to the starting eleven, without needing long periods of competitive adaptation.
The investment planned for this surgical operation will be substantial. Benfica’s SAD is preparing to spend a significant amount to close the deal, around 15 million euros, considering that José Mourinho has already given up on signing a left-back, thanks to José Neto’s adaptation.
The need to go to the market has grown stronger with the likely departure of Gianluca Prestianni. With the young Argentine on the verge of leaving for River Plate, a spot in the squad urgently needs to be filled. The gap on the flank has been identified as a priority, requiring an effective response.
The margin for error is zero, and the management wants to ensure that Mourinho has no shortage of elite options for the second half of the season. The move in the transfer market will be decisive for the ambitions of the Clube da Luz.
