Cesc Fàbregas wants signings at Como, could bid for Benfica star | OneFootball

Interest in Vangelis Pavlidis continues to grow on the international market. The Benfica striker has attracted the attention of Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, who want to strengthen the squad after securing qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.

The 27-year-old Greece international remains under contract with Benfica until 2029 and is protected by a €100 million release clause. After two seasons at the Estádio da Luz, the forward continues to be seen as one of the main attacking references in the Eagles’ squad. The news of the interest was reported by Nicolò Schira.

Besides Como, Beşiktaş are also closely monitoring the striker’s situation. The Turkish press reports that there is an offer worth a fixed €20 million, plus add-ons that could increase the overall value of the deal.

Even so, Benfica are said to be aiming for a higher fee, in the region of €30 million, which leaves room for possible negotiations between the parties. If the move to Turkey goes through, Pavlidis could reunite with Sidny Cabral, who recently transferred to Trabzonspor.

Despite the various interested clubs, the strategy of the structure led by Rui Costa is, for now, to preserve the team’s main core until the start of the new season. The intention is to allow Marco Silva to assess the squad in depth before definitive decisions are made regarding arrivals and departures in the transfer market.
