Benfica and Fiorentina join race for Lazio right back

Benfica and Fiorentina both join the race to land Lazio's right back Patric. According to reports from Italian paper Calciomercato, Benfica are looking for a right back to compete with Andre Almeida and at worse at least give the starting right back some days of rest more regularly next season. Patric was on Benfica's radar back in 2015 while still at Barcelona but decided to join the Italian club instead of making the move to the Luz. Lazio look to be thinning their squad and Patric who appeared in 15 league games last season could be had for an affordable €3M.
