Samu Costa addresses Benfica interest and says he's... | OneFootball

Samu Costa was once again confronted with the rumors linking him to Benfica, but chose not to fuel any speculation surrounding his future. At the press conference previewing Portugal vs. Chile, the Mallorca midfielder said he is fully focused on Portugal’s participation in the World Cup.

"I’m only focused on the national team, my future is not important right now. I want to give my best every day and I’m just one more working hard," said the Portugal international. Asked specifically about the Eagles’ alleged interest, he was even more direct: "Benfica? I’m only focused on the national team, nothing else."

It should be recalled that the midfielder’s name was recently linked with the Lisbon club, at a time when the Reds are looking for solutions to strengthen the midfield. However, the deal presents significant obstacles, starting with Mallorca’s high demands, who want to bring in around €25 million.

Although he remains on Benfica’s radar, the future of the 25-year-old player remains open and far from any imminent outcome. For now, the midfielder prefers to postpone any decision about the next stage of his career until after Portugal’s participation in the competition.
