Benfica presidential candidate Joao Noronha Lopes has revealed his ambitious plan to bring Bernardo Silva back to his boyhood club from Manchester City. Speaking ahead of elections later this year, Lopes claimed that a contract is already 'waiting' for the Portuguese star, who is under contract at the Etihad until 2026. He hopes to convince City to part ways with the midfielder as early as January.
Jose Mourinho has stoked the flames ahead of a high-stakes Champions League playoff, claiming Benfica are "unhappy" and would have much rather faced Feyenoord than Fenerbahce. The veteran Portuguese coach is just one step away from leading the Turkish giants into the main stage of Europe’s elite competition for the first time in 17 years.
Al-Nassr are on the verge of hijacking Benfica's move for Joao Felix as they are in advanced talks to sign the Portuguese forward from Chelsea. The Saudi Pro League giants are in touch with Felix's representatives and could reach an agreement in the next 24 to 48 hours. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had urged Al-Nassr to sign a quality forward, will finally get his help.
