Renan Lodi on Benfica’s radar and the Eagles won’t have to spend a penny | OneFootball

Benfica may move forward with the signing of Renan Lodi. After terminating his contract with Al Hilal, the Brazilian international who has represented Atletico Madrid 19 times, could be an alternative to Samuel Dahl on the left wing. The news was reported 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 lacks? Wingers or wings like Carreras. Benfica has a free player, if they want to go get him, who is very good: Renan Lodi", began Pedro Sousa, 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", added Sérgio Krithinas, reporting on the process of the former Atletico Madrid player's departure 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 may 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 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.
