Tiago Gouveia ‘to join’ Gençlerbirliği after Marco Silva leaves him out of plans | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia is on his way to Gençlerbirliği in Türkiye, according to Glorioso 1904, with the Benfica winger not in Marco Silva’s plans for the new season.

The 25-year-old has been seeking a fresh start after a proposed move to Atlas was cancelled. The Mexican club ended talks, citing late differences with the player’s representatives.

That agreement could have been worth up to seven million euros to Benfica, comprising three million for 50% of his rights and an option to buy a further 40% for four million.

Gouveia spent last season on loan at Nice, where he played 25 times and scored two goals.

He also featured this month, coming on in the second half of Benfica’s 2-1 defeat to St. Gallen in the first leg of the second Europa League qualifying round.

A switch to Türkiye could now offer the stability he needs to relaunch his career, while Benfica seek a definitive solution to his future.
