Brazilian international set for Benfica, Rui Costa to seal deal | OneFootball

Renan Lodi could potentially be a reinforcement for Benfica. The international Brazilian left-back is available, after terminating his contract with Al Hilal, and Rui Costa is considering making a move to sign the former Atlético Madrid player. The information was advanced by Pedro Sousa and Sérgio Krithinas.

“There was a competitor who acquired a player who was free in the market [De Jong, Porto]. What do you think Benfica is missing? Wingers or Carreras-type wings. Benfica has a free player, if they want to go get him, who is very good: Renan Lodi”, Pedro Sousa began, on the NOW channel.

“Renan Lodi unilaterally terminated his contract with Al Hilal. He is free and can sign for any club, but there may be consequences for the club that hires him”, Sérgio Krithinas altered, giving an account of the departure process of the former Atlético Madrid player from the Saudi emblem, which was somewhat controversial.

As of today, and after the departure of Álvaro Carreras to Real Madrid for 50 million euros, José Mourinho - who could revolutionize the reds - has Samuel Dahl and Rafael Obrador for the left wing of Benfica. The arrival of Renan Lodi could be a significant reinforcement for the reds and in a low-cost operation.

Last season, while playing for Al Hilal, Renan Lodi – valued at 13 million euros – played in 42 matches: 24 in the National Championship, nine in the Asian Champions League, five in the Club World Cup, two in the King’s Cup and two in the Super Cup. In the 3,342 minutes he was used, the Brazilian international scored four goals and made nine assists.
