Prestianni could still leave: Benfica await bid over €20m | OneFootball

Trabzonspor are not giving up on Gianluca Prestianni and are preparing a new move for the Benfica winger. After seeing their first offer rejected, the Turkish club are still working on the deal and intend to return to the negotiating table during this week.

According to Record, at Benfica the position remains unchanged: Rui Costa is only willing to let the Argentina international go if an offer in the region of €20 million comes in. The first approach from the Turkish officials did not convince Benfica’s SAD, both because of the figures presented and the structure of the deal, which is why the talks did not progress.

Even so, Trabzonspor believe that a financially stronger offer could unlock the process. To that end, several meetings are scheduled for the coming days to define a new offer, although the club are also continuing to assess alternatives for the attack, with Darío Osório among the names under consideration.

Despite Trabzonspor’s persistence, Benfica still have no intention of making Prestianni’s departure easy. Benfica’s officials believe the Argentine has enormous room for development and will only agree to negotiate for figures that reflect the investment made and the player’s potential. It should be remembered that Prestianni arrived at Benfica from Vélez Sarsfield in a deal in which Benfica acquired 85% of his rights for around €9 million.

At this stage, the winger is still unable to contribute to Marco Silva’s team, as he will have to serve the suspension imposed by UEFA, missing the tie against St. Gallen. Even so, that situation does not alter Benfica’s strategy, as they continue to value the player and will only consider his departure if an offer deemed impossible to refuse arrives. With a new bid being prepared, the process promises further developments over the course of this week.
