Legal issues delay Brazilian international’s Benfica move | OneFootball

Benfica is interested in signing Renan Lodi for the main squad of the Eagles. Rui Costa wants to make moves in the winter transfer market to provide José Mourinho with more options for the second half of the national championship, where the Eagles currently occupy third place.

However, the process does not look easy. Our newspaper reveals, in this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, that the signing of Renan Lodi may face some legal issues due to the player’s conduct at his last club, Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. It’s worth remembering that the player was already close to joining the Eagles in the past.

Renan Lodi, a Brazilian international with 19 caps, is currently a free agent. The full-back enjoys this status after parting ways with Al Hilal. However, the player chose to unilaterally terminate his contract, which could raise some legal questions if the Eagles do decide to go ahead with his signing.

At this moment, Al Hilal’s position regarding the future of Renan Lodi is unknown, but our newspaper knows, as we write in this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, that there is some suspicion within the club regarding the process, since Benfica wants to avoid any kind of legal trouble due to the whole situation.

Renan Lodi would, in fact, be a solution in line with what José Mourinho is looking for. The Benfica coach wants two wingers and a full-back to strengthen the squad in the winter market. An experienced player like the Brazilian international would solve the problem in the defensive line, but it will be necessary to wait and see how this operation develops.
