Pavlidis eyed by giants, Benfica step in | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis's performance does not go unnoticed beyond borders. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our Newspaper reports that the 27-year-old Greek international is being tracked by top European football clubs, with a special focus on Premier League teams.

Reds only accept (for now) to sell by the clause

Despite the growing interest, the Reds' management remains steadfast. As Glorioso 1904 had already exclusively reported, the board led by Rui Costa does not agree to negotiate below the release clause. The amount is set at 100 million euros, thus shielding the asset against low-cost approaches from foreign competitors.

A potential transfer during the market reopening in January seems an almost impossible scenario. The priority is to maintain sporting stability at this crucial stage of the season. However, summer might bring new approaches, a time when interested parties will have more financial leeway to pursue the forward's signing and when the Eagles might lower the 100 million mark.

Greek competes with Mbappé, Kane, Haaland, or Messi

The athlete is in a dazzling form – eyeing a Eusébio record –, currently being the seventh top scorer of the 2025 calendar year, only behind names like Mbappé, Kane, Haaland, or Messi. This season, the striker has played 33 matches and scored 20 goals.

Signed in the 2024 transfer window from Utrecht for 18 million euros, the player - valued at 35M - quickly justified the investment. Since landing in Lisbon, the striker has accumulated a total of 85 official matches with the Eagles. The overall record is impressive, with 49 goals and 14 assists.
