José Neto injury could force Benfica to move for European champion | OneFootball

Raphael Guerreiro continues to be linked with Benfica. In recent hours, the German press has insisted that the Lisbon club, presided over by Rui Costa, remains attentive to the situation of the former Portugal international, whose contract with Bayern Munich will expire at the end of the season. However, the Bavarian giants may have other plans.

According to the local press, the player, whose contract expires in the summer, has already been informed that there is an offer on the table to renew for one more season. However, the sporting terms of the new deal are not as appealing to the left-back, who would not be a regular option.

As Sport Bild wrote, the 32-year-old defender is assessing all the options currently on the table. A possible return to Portugal to play for Benfica is a solution that greatly appeals to Raphael Guerreiro. The same source assures that there have been contacts between the two parties, but without any outcome so far.

Although our newspaper maintains that there is no major interest in the player, A Bola presents a different scenario. José Neto’s recent injury, after fracturing his wrist, could delay the defender’s integration into Benfica’s pre-season, which may lead the Eagles to sign Guerreiro to compete with Samuel Dahl.

So far this season, for Bayern Munich, Raphael Guerreiro — valued at 6 million euros — has made a total of 27 official appearances: 17 in the Bundesliga, seven in the Champions League, two in the German Cup and one in the Super Cup.
