Pavlidis admits he could leave Benfica, find out more | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis is available to leave Benfica, but not for just any offer. Despite strong interest from Turkey, the Greek forward has a clear stance: he will only consider changing clubs if an opportunity arises in one of Europe’s top leagues.

According to the newspaper 'Record', the financial aspect is not the decisive factor. Pavlidis continues to put the sporting project and his career development above any salary. The striker’s position is not new. In April, the Greek had already made it clear that money would not be decisive in any possible decision about his future.

"I have to see what I can do best for myself and my career. As in the past, it was never the financial side that led me to make a decision. And that will not happen now either. My decision was and always will be based on sporting reasons," he said at the time.

Even so, Pavlidis remains focused on Benfica’s project and will only be open to considering a transfer if an opportunity arises in a top-tier league, one capable of representing a real step forward in his career.

On Benfica’s side, the position is also clear. The club’s board has no intention of letting go of one of the team’s main attacking references and will only consider discussing the Greek international’s departure for a very high fee. The Eagles are said to have set the bar at around €70 million.
