Target in sight: Benfica could pay €15m for Pavlidis replacement | OneFootball

Benfica have already started preparing for the new season, and that means new signings are on the way to the Eagles' squad. With that in mind, several rumors suggest that the club from Luz have already identified another target to increase José Mourinho’s attacking options, with Felipe Augusto of Trabzonspor being the name on the table.

According to Record, the Trabzonspor player, whose club competes in the Turkish Super Lig, is on Benfica’s list of potential targets. However, the same source explains that the Eagles are only expected to make a move for the striker depending on what happens in the summer transfer market regarding Vangelis Pavlidis and Franjo Ivanovic.

The sports daily goes further and explains that Benfica’s SAD, led by Rui Costa, wants to be prepared in case something happens in the market, at a time when Benfica are open to sitting down and listening to offers for the two strikers currently at José Mourinho’s disposal.

On the other hand, if Pavlidis or Ivanovic is sold, with the Eagles looking to make a profit after the investments they made, they already know that Trabzonspor are willing to negotiate Felipe Augusto for a fee between 15 and 20 million euros. The Eagles’ other target for the summer is Rodrigo Zalazar.

This season, playing for Trabzonspor, Felipe Augusto - valued at 10 million euros - has already made 37 official appearances: 31 in the Super Lig, five in the Turkish Cup and one in the Turkish Super Cup. .
