Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica won't go mad for Zan Vipotnik | OneFootball

Zan Vipotnik is a name that has been generating some interest from Benfica. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reports on the attention the Lisbon club has been giving to the Swansea striker; however, everything indicates that the board, led by Rui Costa, will not go overboard for the player coached by Vítor Matos.

Glorioso 1904 has learned, from sources close to the process, that the 24-year-old forward has a profile that matches José Mourinho’s requirements. However, as our newspaper had already reported, Vipotnik is a target Benfica are not interested in spending a large amount on, given that he is a player competing in the Championship.

As Glorioso 1904 has learned exclusively, Benfica believe the Slovenian is too expensive. In fact, the player’s very positive season at Swansea raises the possibility of Vipotnik making a step up next season, possibly to a Premier League club, which would make negotiations even more difficult for the Eagles.

Thus, as our newspaper reports, Benfica will not move forward, for now, with the signing of Vipotnik — the Championship’s top scorer — and will assess other options on the table. José Mourinho — who may end up missing the derby — has not ruled out the possibility of signing another striker, despite already having Vangelis Pavlidis, Franjo Ivanovic and Anísio Cabral.

This season, for Swansea, Zan Vipotnik — valued at €15 million — has already made 45 official appearances: 40 in the Championship, four in the English League Cup and one in the FA Cup. .
