Benfica eye Feyenoord winger, but face fierce competition | OneFootball

Benfica are interested in signing Leo Sauer, the young Slovak international from Feyenoord, joining Hoffenheim and Stuttgart in the race for the 20-year-old winger. This information was reported by the German newspaper Bild.

According to the German publication, Hoffenheim have already reached an agreement with the 20-year-old player.

Hoffenheim are said to have submitted several offers to the Rotterdam club, but none has been accepted so far, leaving the door open for other contenders to make a decisive move for the forward. Also in Germany, Stuttgart want to strengthen their squad with Sauer and are willing to invest around €10 million in the Slovakia international.

Benfica have now emerged as another major interested party. The same source says that talks between the parties are currently ongoing, although no details are known about a possible offer from the club led by Rui Costa.

The FR12 portal had already revealed that Stuttgart wanted to overtake Hoffenheim in the race for the player, while Hoffenheim, who finished fifth, will play in the Europa League, like Benfica - who already know their opponent in the 3rd qualifying round.
