Mauro Júnior, a 25-year-old Brazilian left-back from PSV, is reported to be of interest to Benfica. His contract with the Dutch champions expires in 2025. He was requested by Roger Schmidt in 2022 when the German coach signed for Benfica, but at the time, his transfer price was considered too high. However, with his contract with the Dutch team ending in a year, PSV might lower the price. The club is reportedly open to negotiations. The player is valued at €7 million by Transfermarkt, but local media believe a deal could be made for less to avoid the risk of him leaving for free in a year. However, according to A BOLA, the player is not on the reinforcement list for the next season.
