As Benfica continue to consider the signing of Ruben Vinagre from Wolverhampton Wanderers, they seem to be very calm about the transfer.
Newspaper A Bola today features another story on the chase, and they claim that the Eagles believe they are in ‘good position’ to sign the player as they ‘control his situation’.
Following the left-back’s loan spell at Famalicão, the Lisbon side have faith in his potential, and manager Jorge Jesus thinks he can have a big development at the club.
However, Benfica are only going for the transfer in case they sell Nuno Tavares this summer.
The player’s exit is being negotiated with Napoli, and only in case of white smoke will the Eagles send their bid to Wolverhampton.
So in case of a deal, it’s said Benfica would only sign Vinagre in June, and they must be aware of the competition from their Lisbon rivals Sporting, who are also interested in the player.
Earlier today, we saw newspaper A Bola claim that Wolves are chasing Lions’ midfielder João Palhinha, and could offer Vinagre in exchange to get a discount for the move.
