Noronha Lopes’ deputy on Benfica’s transfer plans: “We’re working on it” | OneFootball

Nuno Gomes, Vice President for football on João Noronha Lopes’ ticket, revealed that he is already working on the winter transfer market for Clube da Luz, and once again spoke about Bernardo Silva, the Manchester City player who was developed at Benfica, who has been much talked about during the campaign for the Presidency of Clube da Luz.

Nuno Gomes revealed that he has already started working, together with the other members of João Noronha Lopes’ team, on solutions for the future of Benfica. The vice-presidential candidate confessed that Bernardo Silva is one of those cases: "It’s one of the dossiers we have been working on".

"It’s a big challenge, I’m prepared and the team is prepared as well. It won’t be just one person in that area [football]. We’ve been working for some time, so we can start working on day one," said the former Benfica striker.

He also explained that João Noronha Lopes intends to maintain the relationship with the current Benfica coach, even though he was not chosen by his administration: "Mourinho is Benfica’s coach for another season and a half. He is our coach, obviously".

Finally, Nuno Gomes spoke about a possible move in the next transfer window: "We’re not talking about the winter market. This isn’t the time, and coach José Mourinho has also addressed this topic. We’ve been working for some time so that, if Noronha Lopes wins, we can do our job and start changing some things".
