Spaniards say José María Giménez could join Benfica soon | OneFootball

Benfica are keeping a close eye on José María Giménez’s situation and intend to invest in signing the Uruguay international right up until the final day of the transfer window. At 31, the centre-back still has until next Tuesday to decide whether to embark on a new adventure or remain at Atlético Madrid, a scenario that has not been completely ruled out.

who arrived from Atlético themselves, already has 12 years of experience with the Colchoneros and possesses the qualities to continue performing at a high level.

Benfica therefore intend to take the race down to the final hours of the transfer window. The departures of Nicolás Otamendi and António Silva have left an important gap in central defence, while the arrival of Marco Silva has increased the Eagles’ ambition to regain a leading role in Portuguese football.

However, the Eagles are not alone in the race. Giménez still enjoys a very high reputation in European football and, although he could leave Madrid, he will only be willing to accept a new challenge if he finds a winning project capable of competing for the biggest trophies. Benficawill have to guarantee the conditions to cover the Uruguayan’s salary, while Atlético want any potential loan move to meet their expectations.

, but they are also not willing to make the departure of one of the most important members of the dressing room easy. Benfica are therefore preparing to push until the very end for an experienced centre-back.
