Flamengo will take the field to face Benfica (POR) on July 11, in the Algarve, Portugal. Meanwhile, the Portuguese club is active in the market looking to strengthen its squad. As such, the Europeans are targeting the signing of Ederson, goalkeeper for the Brazil National Team.

According to information from the newspaper “Sic Notícias,” goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin is being targeted by a few clubs in Europe. Therefore, Benfica are looking at Ederson, from Fenerbahçe (TUR) and the Brazil National Team, as a possible replacement for the Ukrainian player.

Currently, Ederson is 32 years old and has a contract with Fenerbahçe until June 2028. Therefore, to take the goalkeeper away from the Turkish club, Benfica will need to pay a fee to re-sign the player.
