Prestianni’s agent: False rumours about Benfica at UEFA | OneFootball

The businessman of Gianluca Prestianni - who recently defended the player - came forward to clarify information that has been circulating in UEFA and involves the Benfica winger, following the incident with Vinícius Júnior. Gastón Fernández, the athlete's representative, stated that his client has not yet been heard and that the narrative being spread does not correspond to reality.

Some media outlets even claimed that the player had given testimony to the highest governing body of European football, alleging that he used the expression "maricón/maricas" and not "mono/macaco" in the Estádio da Luz episode.

Gastón Fernández categorically rejected these versions to the WinWin site: "Everything that has been published about what Gianluca Prestianni said in the UEFA investigations is false. No one has contacted us officially to inform us about possible sanctions related to the matter."

The businessman emphasized that the focus now is to preserve the player's serenity and avoid further speculation: "After the statement issued by Benfica, we do not want to continue with this topic. We have already made it clear that what happened was not as they tried to present or portray in relation to Gianluca. From now on, what matters to us is to provide tranquility and calm to the player."

This season, playing for Benfica, Gianluca Prestianni - valued at 12 million euros - has played a total of 30 matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,460 minutes he was on the field, the winger recorded two goals and one assist.
