How about this? Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate leaves Benfica in hot water | OneFootball

The Benfica is caught in a crossfire after statements from a colleague of Cristiano Ronaldo. It was revealed that João Félix claimed that the real culprit for the transfer to Luz was the club itself. The Portuguese international states that the Eagles 'had no desire'.

"What made me come [to Al Nassr] was the club's desire to have me. The truth is, I was about to return to Benfica in the last three summers", João Félix began by saying to Sport TV, where he explained that his move to the club was never blocked by the player himself.

"It was always my desire, I always told my agents, but there was never a serious intention from the club [Benfica], I don't know from whom", added the number 79 of Al Nassr, accusing the Reds of never having made an effort to finalize his signing in the last transfer markets.

"But my desire was always to return, the opportunity never arose — not due to issues of values, transfer, or salaries, nothing to do with that", João Félix stated, explaining that the obstacles were related to the Reds and never financial issues, as was suggested.
