Benjamín Rollheiser leaving Benfica?
The Argentine press reports that Estudiantes de La Plata, Benjamín Rollheiser's former club, is interested in bringing the midfielder back. TyC Sports states that "the player is eager to leave and the Portuguese might let him go on loan." In the two years since Benfica invested 9 million in the midfielder, he has only played 25 games, 16 of them this season. Juan Sebastián Verón, president of Estudiantes, has reportedly contacted the player.
Benjamín Rollheiser, currently at Benfica, has received a call to return to Estudiantes de La Plata. Juan Sebastián Verón, president of Estudiantes, has already communicated with the player. Rollheiser sees a move favorably due to limited playtime at Benfica, where he played 24 matches and scored two goals since joining. The Portuguese club might allow him to leave on loan.
Bruno Lage, the coach of Benfica, did not clarify the future of young forwards including Benjamin Rollheiser, who have been underutilized. During a press conference, he mentioned that their future is part of the plan and hinted at a potential loan without confirming any details. No specific social media activity was reported for Rollheiser.
There is a possibility of Rollheiser being loaned out in January due to having only 28 minutes of playtime in December.
