Mourinho target accuses club of sabotaging Benfica talks | OneFootball

The saga of Stije Resink is far from over. After the Groningen official revealed how the club rejected the offer, now it was the midfielder's turn to accuse the Dutch club of not cooperating with Benfica, when the Eagles showed interest in signing him.

"I'm still here, I think that says it all. I'm still happy. A lot has happened and, as a player, you think a lot, especially about what will be best for you. In the end, there was a possibility of a transfer, but the club didn't want it," Resink began, speaking to RTV Noord.

"As a player, I could have expected a bit more cooperation. On the other hand, their position was clear. I think about what happened, but the conclusion stays with me," stated the Groningen captain and midfielder, regarding the decision of the Dutch club, which wasn't even willing to listen to the Eagles' offer.

"As a player, I expected cooperation with the club. We need to be on the same page. But the club was very clear. You can be more or less upset, but I have to keep working and stay motivated as always," Resink added.

It should be remembered that Benfica was willing to pay around 7 million euros, plus 3 million euros in add-ons, however the club showed no interest. Furthermore, the Eagles may try again to sign Resink in the summer transfer window, since the player has a buyout clause set at 6 million euros.
