On December 29th, Benfica President Rui Costa was selected as the football person of the year by the Portuguese media football newspaper, and he also accepted an exclusive interview with the ball newspaper.
“neither I nor anyone in Portuguese football can say that they will not sell anyone. On the one hand, the club needs money, on the other hand, the players also want to leave the team to pursue more ambitious goals, because the fact is that the Portuguese league is not the most influential league in international football.
When it comes to big clubs around the world, Benfica’s name always exists. But in terms of money, we can’t compare with the real giants with money. ”
“selling players will bring input and output. We want to send away the players we have already mentioned: Rodrigo Pinho has gone to Coritiba and other less commonly used players will look for other solutions.
As for the signings, because the team has played a very good result so far, the most important thing is not to destabilize the team. The name has been decided, and I won’t buy that kind of so-called big name. There will be a balanced solution, there will be some fine-tuning of the squad, but there will be no exaggeration. ”
In addition, Rui-Costa confirmed that only if the termination fee is paid can Enzo Fernandez be taken away at the winter window.
