In Benfica’s Club and Elections World Cup, Rui Costa does not want to waste time and aims to return the duo in the short term. In the ideal scenario, Bernardo Silva and João Félix arrive at the club in the summer.
Bernardo Silva and João Félix are two of the largest pearls revealed in the Seixal over this century. The first one won just about his career and became one of the best in the world. The second, although not fulfilling all the potential, is still the biggest sale of the club today. Benfica wants their return, the newspaper advances .
In Benfica’s Club and Elections World Cup, Rui Costa does not want to waste time and aims to return the duo in the short term. In the ideal scenario, until early June, before the start of the competition.
Lage tries to convince Felix
In the case of Felix, the president of the ‘Eagles’ has the help of Bruno Lage to make the business walk. The coach was responsible for the rise of the striker in the main team.
“It was soon one of the things I said when I arrived here. Opá, went to put the kid (João Félix) to play. It was the first thing I thought,” Lage explained in 2019, after guiding Benfica to winning the national championship.
At the time, half over time of João Félix arrived to convince Atletico Madrid to pay 126 million euros for the Portuguese international.
The years passed and the promise lived with flashes in the Spanish capital. The lack of synergy with coach Simeone’s model was evident and, after loans to Chelsea and Barcelona, was sold to the English club for 52 million euros last summer.
However, the ‘blues’ decided not to count on João Félix, who was eventually loaned to Sérgio Conceição’s AC Milan. According to Record, Bruno Lage is committed to convincing the 25 -year -old striker that Benfica’s return is a good way to relaunch his career.
Bernardo has already taken a desire to return
Already Bernardo Silva, who left Benfica towards Monaco in 2014, for not being part of Jorge Jesus’s plans, would follow a successful career in Europe. The midfielder was champion in France, alongside Falcao, Mbappé and João Moutinho, and went to Manchester City for 50 million euros in 2017.
“It’s one of the best players I’ve ever trained,” said Pep Guardiola, who says Bernardo Silva reminds him of Lionel Messi.
In England, Bernardo won six times Premier League and the First Champions League of Manchester City history.
The 30 -year -old, who has a contract with the citizens by 2026, has several times demonstrated the desire for one day to return home. The 12 million euros salary may be the biggest obstacle to return to the Luz Stadium.
