Watch out! Benfica step in ahead of Sporting for Yeremay | OneFootball

Benfica have entered the race to sign Yeremay Hernández and are set to battle Sporting for the player. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the two Lisbon rivals are already in talks with Deportivo La Coruña in an attempt to quickly seal the deal.

The 23-year-old winger has been tracked by the Lions for several months, and the Spanish international’s name has long been linked with Alvalade. Now, however, Benfica have officially joined the race and intend to interfere in the negotiations for the player, who has been one of the standout performers in La Liga 2.

Valued at around €40 million, Yeremay Hernández enjoyed a high-level season for Deportivo, recording 11 goals and 10 assists in 38 official matches. The forward’s numbers and ability to make the difference have attracted the attention of several European clubs, but Sporting and Benfica currently appear to be the strongest contenders.

On Sporting’s side, the interest remains firm and fits the strategy of strengthening the attack amid possible departures from Rui Borges’ squad. Benfica, meanwhile, are looking to get ahead of the competition and take advantage of the market opportunity.

The expectation is that the coming days will bring fresh developments regarding the future of the Spanish attacker, in a battle that promises to heat up the market even further between the two eternal Lisbon rivals. For now, Sporting have completed the signings of Rodrigo Zalazar, Pedro Lima and Issa Doumbia.
