Róger Guedes on Benfica’s radar? Brazilian striker confirms: “There was…” | OneFootball

Róger Guedes could have been a reinforcement for Benfica in the last transfer window. This was confirmed by the Brazilian forward himself, revealing that there were talks between his agents and members of the Clube da Luz, although the deal ultimately did not go through.

“There were many approaches, and Benfica’s was the last one, during pre-season. Clubs are starting to look for my agent more often. In 2018, I had an official offer from Porto, but China came in at the last minute and I chose to go there. That was further back,” revealed Róger Guedes in an interview with TNT Sports Brasil.

Róger Guedes can play as a left winger or behind the striker. Benfica ultimately opted for Georgiy Sudakov, who arrived from Shakhtar Donetsk for almost 30 million euros, and Dodi Lukabio, who scored on his debut in the last match and did not hide his happiness. 

Regarding the transfer market, José Mourinho has already made it clear that he wants at least two reinforcements in January. It remains to be seen whether Róger Guedes could return to the Clube da Luz’s radar or if the Eagles will turn their attention to other targets, already approved by the Portuguese coach.
