Benfica turn down huge offer for Pavlidis, find out the figures | OneFootball

Benfica has rejected an offer of over 50 million euros for Vangelis Pavlidis. Nuno Catarino, SAD administrator, confirmed the rejection of the deal, but did not reveal the name of the player in question, delegating responsibilities to Rui Costa.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the footballer the CFO of Benfica was referring to was the Greek forward. A last-minute attack tried to divert Pavlidis from Luz, but the reds did not give in and refused the offer that was made for Bruno Lage's 'number 14'.

The player has a termination clause set at 100 million euros and was Benfica's top scorer last season. Pavlidis is also very important to the team and the SAD did not want to let go of the athlete on the last day of the market, as it would be difficult to find a replacement.

It's worth remembering that the Hellenic was highly sought after in the market, after having been a great highlight of Benfica in 2024/25. Newcastle was the emblem that tried the most to sign Pavlidis, as it was preparing the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

In this 25/26 sports season, Vangelis Pavlidis - currently valued at 35 million euros - has already played six official games for the eagles: three for the Champions League, two for the championship and one for the Supercup. The Greek forward scored two goals, the first in the victory against Sporting, and the other in Reboleira, against Estrela da Amadora.
