Benfica have offer for Penarol winger rejected

Benfica have had an offer for 19 year old winger Brian Rodriguez rejected by Uruguayan club Penarol, who felt that Benfica's offer was too low to consider. Benfica are currently talking to Penarol about Cristian Lema making a move from the Lisbon club to Uruguay and are hoping that a deal for Rodriguez could be added to the negotiations. Rodriguez in his first year with the main squad appeared in nine league games, scoring once and assisting on four goals.
