Leandro Barreiro could leave Benfica before the window closes | OneFootball

As the summer transfer market comes to an end, Leandro Barreiro might be one of the next assets to leave Benfica. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our Journal reports the possibility of the player packing his bags in time to leave the Club da Luz in these last days of the summer transfer window.

Our Journal knows, through a close source, that the Luxembourg international risks losing his place in Bruno Lage's squad. One of the factors is related to the imminent arrival of Georgiy Sudakov, who will be a reinforcement for the eagles. Given this situation, the number 18 would have even less playing time.

Thus, according to Glorioso 1904, Benfica is considering his departure, however, our Journal knows that the eagles have not yet decided whether Leandro Barreiro will leave the Estádio da Luz permanently or on loan. Nevertheless, the versatile midfielder, who can play in different sectors of the midfield, faces strong competition for a spot in the starting eleven.

Our Journal knows that, with the possible signing of Carlos Álvarez, a target Benfica is eyeing, it would further complicate the situation for the Luxembourg player at the Club da Luz. As it would 'force' Fredrik Aursnes to move down the field, since the Norwegian has been adapted by Bruno Lage to right-winger since the beginning of this season.

Signed last season on a free transfer, Leandro Barreiro has always been a player who earned opportunities and trust from Bruno Lage. In the current season, the number 18 - valued at 15 million euros - has played 7 official matches so far: four Champions League qualifiers, two in Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Super Cup. In the 249 minutes he was on the field, he provided one assist.
