Benjamín Rollheiser leaving Benfica?
Santos FC is negotiating with Benfica for a potential loan of Benjamín Rollheiser. A loan deal is considered a favorable option for Santos.
A Bola reports on Benjamín Rollheiser's potential departure from Benfica amid interest from clubs in Brazil, Turkey, UAE, and USA. Benjamín Rollheiser might leave Benfica due to open transfer markets in Brazil, Turkey, UAE, or USA, which could be potential destinations for the Argentine player.
Benjamín Rollheiser's future at Benfica remains uncertain as the club has received multiple loan requests for the 24-year-old winger. Having played only 313 minutes in 18 games this season, primarily as a substitute, he has been frequently used in midfield. However, he is being considered by Bruno Lage for the winger position as an alternative to Ángel Di María. Benfica is open to making a deal, aiming to recover at least their €8.7 million investment, but none of the current offers fulfill this requirement. Additionally, Estudiantes retains the right to 10% of any future profit.
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.
An MLS club attempted to sign the Argentine left-footed player, Benjamín Rollheiser, with a proposal of 10 million euros. This offer would cover the entire investment Benfica made to acquire him from Estudiantes last summer. The move was rejected by Benfica.
