Alert! Benfica striker is on his way to Serie A | OneFootball

Benfica is very close to completing another departure in this summer transfer window. Gustavo Varela, a 21-year-old forward, is expected to continue his career in the Italian league and is very close to joining Monza, in a deal that should be finalized in the coming days.

The information was reported by transfer market specialist journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, who says the Italian club has already secured the signing of the young attacker. Although the terms of the deal have not yet been revealed, everything indicates that Gustavo Varela’s future will be in the top tier of Italian football.

After a season on loan at Gil Vicente, the Portuguese youth international scored seven goals in 33 matches, numbers that caught Monza’s attention. With no room in Marco Silva’s plans for the new season, a move appears to be the best solution for all parties, allowing the player to continue developing in a competitive league.

Interestingly, Monza is also very close to signing Ricardo Mangas from Sporting, but Benfica is only following the Gustavo Varela file. The Italian club continues to invest heavily in the Portuguese market and sees the Benfica forward as a signing with room for growth and the potential to establish himself in Serie A.

Developed at Sporting, PAOK - a club that wanted to sign him - and Benfica, Gustavo Varela even made one appearance for the Eagles’ first team. Now, he is preparing to take a new step in his career, with Italy emerging as the chosen destination to relaunch his path and earn a bigger role at the highest level.
