Benfica, Sporting and Porto urged to sign Casa Pia full-back: He’s ready | OneFootball

Aitor Larrazabal believes that his son Gaizka Larrazabal has the quality to make the jump to one of the big clubs and admits he sees him as ready to represent teams such as Benfica, Sporting or Porto. After his decisive display against Vitória de Guimarães - where a Benfica target plays - the Spanish full-back once again came into the spotlight, and his father advised one of the big three to sign him.

"He has a strong track record, because over the last three years he has competed very well, avoided injuries, performed at a high level, and improved every season. He is capable of taking an important step, and I hope this will be the year he takes it. I see him as ready. I believe he has the ability to play for one of the best teams in Portugal, where he would like to be. That is what he has been showing," he told the newspaper 'Record'.

His performance in Guimarães was yet another demonstration of the impact he has had this season for Casa Pia: “The match against Vitória showed exactly what he has been doing all season, a lot of intensity down the wing, physical strength and the ability to get forward. In the first half he had already created two very dangerous chances and then ended up scoring a great goal near the end. It was a fair reward for the performance he put in,” he highlighted.

With his contract due to expire at the end of the season and his departure from Casa Pia all but certain, the player’s future promises to heat up the summer market. Even so, his father guarantees that the priority remains staying focused. “We speak practically every day and he is fully focused on finishing the season well. There will be time to look at the offers and decide what the best next step for his career will be. The important thing now is to finish the season in the best possible way and then calmly assess the interested clubs,” he concluded.
