Genoa ‘to bid’ for Bento as Grêmio push for Al-Nassr goalkeeper | OneFootball

Genoa have entered the race with Grêmio for Bento, with both clubs targeting the Al-Nassr goalkeeper.

According to Gremistas.net, the Italian side have shown interest and plan to lodge an official offer in the coming days as they fight relegation.

Grêmio have made a first-choice goalkeeper a priority for 2026 and view the 26-year-old as attainable this window despite financial constraints.

Bento joined Al-Nassr in 2024 and is not considered a key figure under Jorge Jesus at present. He was signed when Luis Castro, now in charge of Grêmio, was the Saudi club’s coach.

The player and his representatives are yet to receive clarity from Al-Nassr on his future. The initial preference is a sale, though the asking price has proved too high for recent suitors.

Grêmio are working on a loan proposal with a wage split, with the keeper’s salary exceeding R$ 3 million per month. A decision on his next move is expected soon.

Al-Nassr paid €18 million, around R$ 107 million at the time, to sign Bento, whose contract runs until June 2028.
