Benfica have one condition to sell Pavlidis this window | OneFootball

Benfica are not willing to part ways with Vangelis Pavlidis, even amid interest from Barcelona, during the summer transfer window. The Greek forward remains one of the main pillars of Marco Silva’s squad, and Benfica’s SAD will only consider discussing a possible departure if an offer deemed impossible to refuse arrives at the Luz.

There has still been no formal offer for the number 14, who remains fully focused on preparing for the new season with the Eagles.

The stance of the board led by Rui Costa remains unchanged: Pavlidis will not leave the Club of Light for less than €50 million. In fact, the Benfica hierarchy believe the Greek international is still increasing in value on the market and, for that reason, are not ruling out demanding an even higher fee.

At the same time, Benfica continue to prioritise a possible departure for Ivanovic. The forward, it should be remembered, was not even used in the friendly against St. Gallen, unlike Pavlidis, who once again showed his importance by scoring four goals against the Swiss side. Despite the need to manage investment in this market carefully, Rui Costa does not want to weaken the squad.

Durán’s arrival represents a boost for the attack, but it does not change the intention of Benfica’s decision-makers to keep Pavlidis, who is considered one of the team’s most influential players and a difficult piece to replace. As such, only a high-value offer could convince Benfica to open negotiations for the sale of the Greek international and, at this stage, nothing suggests that scenario will come to pass.
