After transfer ‘crisis’, Pavlidis gets Março Silva talking at Benfica | OneFootball

After the wedding that got people talking in recent weeks, Vangelis Pavlidis has returned to work and is already focused on preparing for the new season. The Greek forward shared a photo this Tuesday showing him training while in Thessaloniki.

Benfica’s pre-season is set to begin on the 25th, the date on which the player is expected to join the group under the guidance of the coaching staff led by Marco Silva, who arrived to replace José Mourinho, who left for Real Madrid.

On June 14, Pavlidis married Marianna Solkidou in a ceremony held in Halkidiki, in northern Greece. The event was attended by several teammates from the Eagles’ squad, with Leandro Barreiro, Franjo Ivanovic, and Samuel Dahl traveling to Greece to take part in the celebrations.

Meanwhile, Benfica’s general director of football, Mário Branco, commented on the rumors surrounding Besiktas’ interest in signing the Greek forward. The official was adamant in stating that there had been no formal contacts or proposals presented to the club, stressing that much of the information circulating is nothing more than speculation.

Mário Branco also reinforced Benfica’s intention to keep Pavlidis in the squad for the new season, assuring that the player also wants to stay at the Luz. Although he acknowledged the unpredictability of the market, he made it clear that the forward will be present at the start of pre-season on June 25.
