Brazilian international on Benfica move: Never | OneFootball

Pepê, an international player for the Brazil National Team, stated that he would never play for Benfica. The player, who represents Porto and has been sidelined due to an eye problem, spoke about the two major rivals of the teams he has played for, mentioning the Eagles (Benfica) and Internacional de Porto Alegre – just a few days after another former Porto player also commented on a possible move to Benfica.

Pepê, the Brazilian winger, was challenged by ESPN to take on a challenge where he had to answer 10 questions with yes or no answers. The player talked about several teammates, both former and current, until he reached the question where he had to talk about Benfica and another club from the Brazilian league.

When asked which club he would never represent, Benfica or Internacional de Porto Alegre – the two major rivals of the teams he played for, Porto and Grêmio – the Brazilian winger had no doubts about his answer: "Both, I would never play for either of them."

It is worth remembering that Pepê joined Porto in the summer of 2021 and is already in his fifth season with the northern rival. During his time in Portugal, he played 10 matches against the Eagles – winning five and losing five – in which he scored two goals.

Regarding Benfica, it should also be noted that the Eagles will make their Champions League debut this Tuesday, September 16, in a match for the first round of the league phase. The game, against the Azerbaijanis of Qarabag, is scheduled for 8:00 PM at Estádio da Luz.
