Benfica, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in race for Cruzeiro striker | OneFootball

Benfica may be looking to strengthen its attacking department for the demands of the current sporting season. The Eagles’ hierarchy has placed forward Kaio Jorge on its list of targets to monitor closely in Brazilian football.

According to transfer market specialist Ekrem Konur, Benfica faces strong competition from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. The journalist says the young Cruzeiro striker is being closely watched by several European clubs.

The list of clubs keeping an eye on the attacker’s progress in Europe also includes Aston Villa, Milan, and Fiorentina. His strong performances in the Brasileirão have put the player at the center of attention ahead of the next transfer windows.

The Belo Horizonte club has set its asking price at between €40 million and €45 million for the transfer. The amount demanded is justified by the existence of a future sell-on clause belonging to Juventus in negotiations for Kaio Jorge.

. However, our newspaper recently reported that the Brazilian striker is not in Benfica’s plans.
