As Benfica’s squad reunites for the 2024/25 season, Paulo Bernardo is still to know what will happen to him in the coming weeks.
Portuguese newspaper Record today shares a story claiming there are several young players from the Eagles who now have the dream of impressing in pre-season to keep a place in the squad. The midfielder, who spent the last season on loan at Celtic, lives in a bit of a different situation.
The outlet points out that the 22-year-old is still waiting for the clubs to find an agreement so he can join Celtic on a permanent move.
The problem is that the Hoops didn’t want to pay the €7.5m that had been previously agreed with Benfica to make the move permanent, so they now negotiate a new fee.
It had also been said that Bernardo’s salary at Benfica was too high, and that’s something being discussed at the negotiations table as well.
