Fernando Tavares blames Benfica board for aborting move for Bayern’s Linda Dallmann | OneFootball

Fernando Tavares, the former Benfica vice-president, said in a post that Benfica had a pre-agreement to sign Bayern Munich’s Linda Dallmann, that she travelled to Lisbon with Bayern’s permission, and that the club’s SAD board aborted the deal. He called it a mistake and a missed chance to elevate the team’s competitive level.

He portrayed the approach as a perfect market opportunity that could have set a new cycle of quality and strengthened Benfica’s standing in Europe.

The former director argued the club should prioritise that calibre of signing rather than settling for median targets.

He added that the gap between being among the best and truly one of the best is often decided by a single call, a signing, or an opportunity taken, or one missed.

Dallmann showcased her quality at Estádio da Luz on Wednesday, as Bayern won 3-0 against Benfica in the second round of the Champions League league phase.
