André Luiz conduct in Rio Ave vs Benfica leaves Benfica pondering future | OneFootball

Benfica won 2-0 at Rio Ave in Vila do Conde on Saturday, 17 January. According to Glorioso 1904, two tense substitution flashpoints involved Schjelderup and Rio Ave forward André Luiz, a Benfica transfer target.

Both started the match and were withdrawn in the second half. At 62 minutes, Schjelderup made way for Lopes Cabral and showed his frustration.

At 73 minutes, André Luiz left the pitch without greeting his coach.

The number 21 is also not attracted to Parma’s project, which is another obstacle to completing that deal. If the transfer falls through, the Nordic footballer should leave the Luz in this window, as Benfica want to focus on signing Rafa Silva and André Luiz.

This season for Rio Ave, André Luiz has played 19 games, 18 in the Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Taça de Portugal. Across 1,463 minutes he has scored seven goals and provided five assists. He is under contract until June 2029 and is valued at four million euros.
