Glorioso 1904 Exclusive - Erica Meg interests Rui Costa, but the creative midfielder from Valadares de Gaia could be headed to the USA

Erica Meg’s arrival is becoming more complicated and the USA could be the player’s destination, Glorioso 1904 has learned. Our newspaper reports that the 18-year-old athlete was a potential signing for the Benfica team, but her future is expected to lie in North American territory.

Rui Costa is interested in the player’s potential given her performances for Valadares Gaia. However, the competitive nature of football in the USA and the possibility of earning a more attractive salary are pushing the player toward moving abroad, also in order to secure more opportunities with the England national team.

It is worth remembering that Erica Meg was recently called up to the “Three Lions” squad in April. The youngster was among the players selected by national team coach Sarina Wiegman for the qualification matches the England team played against Iceland and Spain, with the 2027 World Cup in mind.

Up to this point, the midfielder had only played for England’s youth teams. After 22 caps for the under-17s, adding another 12 appearances for the under-19 side, Erica Meg joined the senior squad.

It should also be noted that the 17-year-old footballer was one of the biggest revelations of the Liga BPI, racking up several appearances for Valadares Gaia. In 27 matches played, the Englishwoman scored five goals and also provided three assists.
