Mainz is contemplating moving forward with an effort to acquire Jan-Niklas Beste. It has been reported that the player is dissatisfied with his secondary role at Benfica. Benfica, who originally paid €8 million for Beste, are asking for €12 million for an immediate transfer or are considering a loan with an obligatory purchase clause. Nevertheless, clubs in Germany and England, including Crystal Palace and Brentford, have mostly shown interest in a loan with an option to buy, which does not align with Benfica's demands.
