The Portuguese newspaper “A Bola” published that Argentine striker Benjamín Rollheiser, 24, could be traded on loan by Benfica. The player had great success wearing the Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) shirt, but has not yet managed to make it in Europe.
Rollheiser was not used by coach Bruno Lage in the last two games. Santos was interested in the player. Find out details about the search.
Rollheiser wants to leave Benfica?
The publication of “A Bola” took place last Thursday (09/01). This Friday (10/01), Rollheiser’s manager, Carlos Espinoza, gave an interview to the website “Trivela”. In it, the agent said that Santos made contact for the right winger, but ruled out the possibility of a loan:
– Santos actually came to us recently. But there are no talks or negotiations underway. Rollheiser is a Benfica player, he wants to stay there and will not go out on loan to any team in the world. He has a clause of 100 million euros (R$625.7 million at today’s exchange rate) and that is the price for anyone who wants to sign him.
