Rui Costa: Benfica star only leaves for release clause | OneFootball

Rui Costa is determined to keep the European sharks at bay and, for that reason, is pointing to the release clause. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the President of Benfica considers Vangelis Pavlidis non-negotiable and that the Greek will only leave for the amount set in his contract.

Our newspaper has learned, from a close source, that the number 14 is seen as an indispensable player, both by the management and by the coach, José Mourinho. Therefore, Glorioso 1904 reports that the Eagles are not inclined to listen to offers for the Greek and interested parties will have to pay 100 million euros, the striker’s release clause.

Vangelis Pavlidis, it should be recalled, arrived last season, proving to be the goal-scorer the Reds needed. Our newspaper knows that the Greek has been coveted since January of this year and, during the recent summer transfer window, which has now closed, he was on Newcastle United’s wish list, Benfica’s Champions League opponent.

On the other hand, regarding possible departures, Glorioso 1904 had already reported that Benfica is inclined to listen to offers for Andreas Schjelderup. As our newspaper previously reported, the Norwegian, despite not having much playing time, has attracted a lot of interest.

Vangelis Pavlidis is currently one of the most important players for the Eagles. In the current sports season, the forward – valued at 35 million euros – has so far played 15 official matches. In the 1,221 minutes he was on the pitch, the number 14 recorded seven goals and one assist.
