Stije Resink is very close to reaching an agreement. According to reports, the 22-year-old midfielder, who has been linked with Benfica, could be set to become a reinforcement for the Eagles still in this winter transfer window, all thanks to the direct intervention of José Mourinho.

According to Voetball International, the Eagles' coach is said to have spoken with Resink during the past week, introducing Benfica's project to the Groningen footballer, while also explaining what his role would be in the red and white squad.

The same source reveals that Resink was very pleased with José Mourinho's words and felt that Benfica would be the right step in his still short professional career. It is worth recalling that the 22-year-old player has been one of Groningen's standout figures this season.

Regarding the interest in Resink, Voetball International had already reported in recent days that Mourinho made it known to the club's board that he wants to count on Resink. With this request in mind, Benfica is said to have already made contact with Groningen. The same source reveals that the deal could be done for around 6 million euros.

This season, wearing the Groningen shirt, Stije Resink — valued at 7 million euros — has already played a total of 20 official matches: 19 in the Eredivisie and one in the KNVB Beker. In the 1,800 minutes he spent on the pitch, the 22-year-old midfielder recorded four goals and five assists.
