Porto and Benfica tracking the same Brazilian star | OneFootball

Benfica and FC Porto are tracking the same footballer, according to reports from Brazil. He is Rhuan Gabriel, a 19-year-old attacking midfielder for Cruzeiro, who had the chance to showcase himself at the U-20 World Cup.

According to the portal Central da Toca, which closely follows Cruzeiro’s affairs, the two Portuguese clubs requested information about the player. The tournament, held in Chile, ended early for Brazil, eliminated in the group stage; Rhuan featured in two matches, totaling 66 minutes on the pitch.

The same publication indicates that Cruzeiro is aware of the interest from relevant European clubs in its youth generation, considered very promising. As such, Rhuan Gabriel was invited to renew his contract a few weeks ago, tying himself to the club until 2029, with a €100 million release clause.

Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim has not yet handed Rhuan Gabriel his debut for the first team, but sources in Belo Horizonte assure that this could happen soon, as the coach is preparing the player.

It should be recalled that Brazil was eliminated after three matches, with two defeats, finishing last in Group C.
