Portugal star with 65 caps is a free agent, but Benfica don't want him | OneFootball

At 32 years old, Raphael Guerreiro remains a free agent after his contract with Bayern Munich, the club he represented for three seasons, expired. The full-back had been linked with Benfica, but Marco Silva rejected the move.

According to Tutto Mercato Web, the European champion with Portugal is attracting interest from Roma, who are even said to have already approached the player. The same source adds that the defender appeals to Gian Piero Gasperini because he is left-footed, at a time when Nahuel Molina and Wesley França, both naturally right-backs, have been deployed on the left and the transfer window is closed.

Even so, the player, who has also previously represented Caen, Lorient and Borussia Dortmund, is also being monitored by Olympiacos. As such, the decision to move to Greece or Italy is in the footballer’s hands.

The left-back left the Bavarians, and the former European champion with Portugal viewed a move to Benfica positively, as he is a passionate supporter of the club. However, according to our newspaper, Marco Silva did not want the player to arrive, despite Rui Costa’s desire.

In his last season with the German giants, the Portugal international made 29 appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists. Now without a club, Guerreiro could be one of the solutions Roma have identified to strengthen the left side of the squad.
