Benfica target could be Rui Borges’ Christmas surprise at Sporting | OneFootball

Giannis Konstantelias is being contested by Sporting and Benfica, but the Lions might make an effort to give Rui Borges a Christmas gift. Despite Yeremay Hernández being the priority for the green and whites, the Alvalade Club considers the Greek international a strong alternative.

“The reports on Giannis Konstantelias were not very positive, and PAOK's desire to receive more than €30 million for the Greek international cooled the interest of the Lions' officials,” writes the newspaper Record, in the printed edition of this Wednesday, November 12.

Giannis Konstantelias is one of several names referenced by Sporting to strengthen the much-desired winger position. The Greek international, with 17 caps (in which he scored four goals), is also on Benfica's radar, but the Alvalade Club will not enter auctions for the 22-year-old athlete.

This season, playing for PAOK, Giannis Konstantelias – valued at 17 million euros – has played 17 matches: eight in the National Championship, eight in the Europa League, and one in the Cup. In the 1,378 minutes he was on the field, the Greek club's winger scored seven goals and made three assists.
