Rui Costa ties down three Benfica stars; find out who they are | OneFootball

Benfica’s structure, led by Rui Costa, has already set the main figures for the upcoming transfer window and is preparing for possible major departures from the squad, at a time when the Club is considering strategic adjustments to balance the books after the season.

Among the most highly valued players are three names who could generate significant fees: Vangelis Pavlidis, Andreas Schjelderup and Richard Ríos, all seen as highly sought-after pieces in the international market.

In Pavlidis’ case, Benfica will only negotiate from €50 million upwards, despite the Greek striker still being protected by a €100 million release clause and retaining his status as a key attacking figure at the Luz. The Greek scored 30 goals this season.

As for Schjelderup, who has been gaining space and importance in Benfica’s starting eleven, he is internally valued at around €40 million, after a second half of the season in which he confirmed the potential that brought him to the Club.

Richard Ríos also appears as one of the most in-demand assets, with Benfica willing to negotiate the Colombian midfielder for figures in the region of €40 million, at a time when Italian clubs and Manchester United have already shown strong interest.
