Benfica remain at the front of the queue for Noah Saviolo, a player who has been standing out for Vitória de Guimarães. At a time when other clubs have already shown interest in signing the 22-year-old footballer, everything suggests that the Eagles are in the strongest position to reach an agreement with the Guimarães side.

According to A Bola, Roma, a Serie A club, have entered the race with an offer worth around €10 million, also including additional bonuses for Saviolo. However, as the same source notes, the presence of the giallorossi has not disrupted negotiations between Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães.

According to the sports daily, Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães’ SADs established contact over Saviolo a few weeks ago, and expectations are that the deal will be wrapped up very soon. The fact that the league season ends this weekend means the process could be accelerated in the coming days.

The Guimarães side have reportedly already rejected offers in the region of €5 million from Ligue 1 clubs and are willing to negotiate with Benfica for figures between €7 million and €7.5 million. However, A Bola reports that the Minho club are not ruling out the possibility of asking for better terms, given Roma’s entry into the race.

This season, playing for Vitória de Guimarães, Noah Saviolo — valued at €2 million — has made 35 appearances: 29 in the Portuguese league, three in the Portuguese Cup and three in the League Cup. In the 2,286 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded two goals and five assists.
