José Mourinho wants signings, but Benfica set their terms | OneFootball

Benfica does not rule out the possibility of signing a midfielder in the winter market. Although the Management and José Mourinho are in agreement on this matter, it has been determined that this scenario should only occur based on several conditions.

However, as the newspaper Record has found out in recent days, the Club of Light will only proceed with the signing of a new midfielder if the recoveries of Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea take longer than expected. It should be noted that the Colombian chose not to undergo surgery.

In addition to Ríos, the physical condition of Barrenechea, as well as Mani, are not favorable scenarios for the Reds, and with this in mind, Benfica is waiting for the progress of the two athletes to determine whether it will be necessary to go to the market to secure another midfielder for the Special One's squad.

However, the obstacle is not only the recovery of the players in question, it also depends on Benfica's future in the Champions League. In other words, the Eagles will only strengthen the squad if they are close to securing a spot in the next phase of the competition, which would mean an important financial gain that could allow for another signing.

Currently, Benfica's market has been marked by many setbacks in the various deals the Eagles have been conducting. As for this week, everything indicates that the Club of Light will do everything to finalize the signing of Rafa Silva
