Alert, Rui Costa! Juventus move in for Benfica’s key man | OneFootball

With the transfer window closed in the main European leagues, everything indicates that Rui Pedro Braz’s work as Sporting Director of Benfica has come to an end. As already reported by the national press, the executive is leaving the Club of Light and there is a strong candidate to hire him.

Tuttosport, as cited by the newspaper Record, writes that Juventus is at the forefront to secure the signing of Rui Pedro Braz, who has been one of the main figures in the Eagles’ structure regarding the club’s approach and success in recent transfer markets.

However, both sports dailies warn that the executive’s name is highly regarded in the corridors of Turin, but it is a subject that has been kept confidential, since he is still under contract with another club, in this case Benfica, led by Rui Costa.

In the current transfer window, the Bianconeri, who made some significant signings such as the arrival of Francisco Conceição and João Mário, who swapped with Alberto Costa, saw the approach being carried out by Damien Comolli and François Modesto, the club’s general manager and technical director. However, the Vecchia Signora still needs a sporting director and the Portuguese is the most highly regarded name.

It is worth remembering that Rui Pedro Braz, who is leaving Benfica, was one of the most important figures in the market, as he personally negotiated the signing of several reinforcements, ensuring that Rui Costa did not depend so much on sports agents or intermediaries.
