Sérgio Krithinas has suggested the possibility of Benfica moving to sign Renan Lodi, former rival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia. The player terminated his contract with Al Hilal unilaterally, after not being registered by the club for the championship.

"Benfica has a free player they can sign who is very good: Renan Lodi", said the executive director of the newspaper 'Record' on the program 'Record na Hora' on Canal Now. The Brazilian left-back is still looking for a new club to continue his career, after the market closed.

"After the pre-season in Germany, I was surprised with the news that I could not play in the Saudi league. I would only have the opportunity to participate in very few games in the Asian Champions. I still have many dreams in football and would not have enough minutes this season. Over the past few weeks, I tried to reverse the decision with Al-Hilal, but never received an answer on how this situation could be amicably resolved. I sought legal advice and was informed that I cannot be prevented from exercising my profession. I decided to defend my rights like any worker", the athlete explained.

Last season, while playing for Al Hilal, Renan Lodi - valued at 13 million euros - played a total of 42 games: 24 in the Saudi league, nine in the Asian Champions League, five in the Club World Cup, two in the King's Cup and two in the Saudi Super Cup. .
