Benfica eye German starlet, Rui Costa faces tough competition | OneFootball

Benfica is keeping an eye on Adin Licina's situation. The young player trained at Bayern Munich might be on his way out, and the Clube da Luz is one of the names mentioned as a likely destination to welcome the athlete. However, the same information indicates that Sporting might also get involved in the deal.

According to the Bild newspaper, Bayern Munich feels it is the ideal time to let go of the left-winger, who, in recent months, has lost some prominence in the Bavarian youth squad. However, the German giant wants to sell Licina but intends to maintain some control over his future.

The same source adds that Bayern will open the door for his departure; however, at the time of his sale, they want to include a buy-back clause in case the footballer improves his performance at his new club. Bild also mentions that there is a strong international race — in which Benfica and Sporting are involved — to sign the young player.

Adin Licina, characterized as a fast and explosive winger, sees leaving the Bavarian giant as the best solution, given the strong competition he faces in the main squad of the Bavarians, such as Michael Olise, Luis Díaz, Jamal Musiala, or the young prospect Lennart Karl.

Bild states that several clubs are interested in the German; however, it points to Benfica as the most promising destination for the winger, due to the rich history the Eagles have in turning young prospects into world-class footballers. However, the arrival of reinforcements, at least in January, depends on success in the Champions League.
