Roma ‘to try to sign’ Raphael Guerreiro on a free after Benfica links | OneFootball

Roma are exploring free-agent options after the window closed and could move for Raphael Guerreiro, who was linked with Benfica this summer.

According to Glorioso 1904, the capital club will try to sign the Portugal international, who is unattached after leaving Bayern Munich, to strengthen the left flank. The report also says Benfica weighed a deal, but Marco Silva did not want it despite Rui Costa’s interest.

Aged 32, Guerreiro has extensive experience at the highest level. He spent the last three seasons at Bayern following several years with Borussia Dortmund.

The former European champion with Portugal is a fervent Benfica supporter and was open to the move. Last season for the German giants he made 29 appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists.

Now without a club, he could be among Roma’s solutions to cover the left side of their squad.
